Note however that a stream of strict texts is like a generalized 
Data.Text.Lazy.Text in which you can have effects when producing each 
chunk, and there's also a result value at the end that is useful for things 
like dividing the stream. Text-specific functions that worked on such 
streams (say, divide the stream at a given Char) would belong in a text 
library, I think.

The package streaming-bytestring 
<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/streaming-bytestring> does something 
similar for lazy bytestrings.
