[Haskell-cafe] FastString a misnomer

[John Meacham]

FastString seems to be a misnomer for this library.

what it provides is a fast _byte array_ with a lot of useful
operations, but it does not provide strings since it does not enforce
character encodings in the type system, which would be vital for a real
FastString library. In any case, just had to get that off my chest :)
