Feature request: Support Data.Text #8

Open ulikoehler opened 10 years ago

I think tconfig should report Data.Text instead of String. For example, we could add a module Data.TConfig.Text that uses Text as key and value type.

This would provide better memory efficiency. Using ByteString would also be an option (maybe support all three), but it doesn't support Unicode.

What do you think of this approach?

I'm not actively maintaining this package. There are much better standardized configuration formats (like toml). This was a pretty one-off when-I-was-13 project.

That said, if someone wants to maintain it and take it over they're certainly welcome to, I just can't imagine many reasons why :P
