[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: string-conversions-0.2

[Sönke Hahn]

I've uploaded a new version to hackage incorporating suggestions from 
Joachim Breitner, Michael Snoyman and (offlist) Matthias Fischmann.

The package now supplies (<>), a generic function for string concatenation.
(Under ghc >= 7.4 this is a re-export from Data.Monoid to avoid name 
clashes.)
