ing away from underlying representations. This enables conversion between different string representations using functions that are already highly specialised to be fast and efficient. 3.2.3 Text Combinators As discussed previously, the List API represents the best choice for Text to give programmers access to a wide range of functions that they are already accustomed to using with String . These functions also represent most of the inductively defined operations possible over a string, so there are very few limitations on what can be accomplished with respect to string processing.
