String != [Char]

[Greg Weber]

I am starting up the proposal.

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/ticket/143
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/OpaqueText

Unfortunately I haven't had any time to work on this for the last week
and won't for 2 more weeks.
Your help is appreciated. I think the first step is to move list
functions into a separate module for the Text package to see if we can
get rid of name conflicts with the Prelude.
