you could elaborate the documenatation “Assumes UTF-8” – I guess this
only applies to the two ByteString variants, as String and Text _should_
contain unicode codepoints and no encoding. Not that someone tries to
use a String where each Char corresponds to a byte in a UTF-8 encoded
string and thinks he can convert it correctly.

I was about to suggest to merge this into the convertible package (to
fight package proliferation), but found that it seems it is already
there:

Greetings,
Joachim
