Proposal: add ByteString support to unix:System.Posix.IO API

[wren ng thornton]

Hello all,

I've written variants of the System.Posix.IO API for strict and lazy 
ByteStrings which are currently lingering in their own unpublished 
package[1]. It's silly to have a separate package for just four 
functions, so I'd like to see it combined into the unix package. I don't 
have access to create a new ticket with the patch, but it's available at 
[2].

Discussion time: 2 weeks.
