I'm a bit of a Takusen newbie, but I've been maintaining some code recently
that makes use of it.  I've coded up some trivial examples using the
iteratees package.  Based on my very shallow understanding, I think the
problem is just that both packages define iteratees but differently.
Assuming that's correct, then I think you need a way to transform between
the two types of iteratees.  Perhaps that can be done with an enumerator
that fetches values from your fillFromFile iteratee and turns that into the
type of iteratee that Takusen uses?
