This indeed looks clearer! I envy the beginner who will learn Haskell with this change. :) |

While using qualified names such as
S.ByteStringorL.ByteStringallows for GHC to disambiguate between the strict and lazy variants, the
generated haddocks end up being quite confusing, prime examples being
fromStrictandtoStrict.This patch replaces such uses with the type synonyms
StrictByteStringandLazyByteStringto (hopefully) make the docs a bit clearer.
