[Haskell-cafe] Typeclass for functions taking different kinds of strings

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi

> is there currently a library that makes unifying them easy?

I currently use this library:

http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/darcs/tagsoup/Text/StringLike.hs

Not yet released, and rather specific to what I was wanting to do, but
does work for me. I'm happy for people to steal bits from that as they
want.

Thanks

Neil
