It's looking good Don. I think the Word8/Char split was the right way to
go.

On that theme, there are a few more functions for which we should
consider which of the Word8/Char modules would be their best home. If we
are saying that the base module is encoding agnostic then I think these
functions should probably move to the .Char module since they make
assumptions about the encoding of things like '\n'.
