@hackage pipes-text0.0.0.1

Many of the pipes and other operations defined here mirror those in the `pipes-bytestring` library. Folds like length and grouping operations like lines simply adjust for the differences between ByteString and Text and Word8 and Char. The distinctive feature of the library is the `Text/ByteString` encoding and decoding apparatus.

To this core are added some simple functions akin to the String operations in Pipes.Prelude, and others like the utilities in Data.Text.

All of the IO operations defined here - e.g readFile, stdout etc. - are conveniences akin to those in Data.Text.IO which e.g. try to find the system encoding and use the exceptions defined in the text library. Proper IO in the sense of this library will employ `pipes-bytestring` in conjuntion with pure operations like decodeUtf8 and encodeUtf8 that are defined here.
