Perhaps I can -- convince you. -- -- The Faker library doesn't keep the data as Haskell values, but stores it -- in `data-files`. The code that generates this fake data loads the values -- from the `data-files` for the library. That's what happens in IO. It is -- possible that the data-file is missing, and an exception will be thrown. -- However, no mutating actions are performed. I believe this is a safe use -- of 'unsafePerformIO'. -- -- The alternative would be to lift it into `GenT IO a`, which is -- undesirable, as it would harm composition with basically any other -- generator.
