Proposal: A stricter implementation of lines.
Reason: The current implementation causes a space leak (cf.
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/papers/leak/leak.ps), at least in GHC.
The proposed implementation fixes the leak at the small cost of being
stricter if the first _|_ in the String is the first character of a line.
Discussion period: Three weeks, until 15th October (because of ICFP).
Ticket: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4334
Cheers,
Daniel
