Mostly because I wanted ByteStrings so that's what I implemented :)

Good point though. I've uploaded a replacement patch changing the
Network functions to use String and adding Network.ByteString and
Network.ByteString.Lazy. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ideally it'd be nice if this all used some sort of String typeclass
interface. But this should do for now.
