-- | Textual type class for data that represent text
--   
--   Exposes the Textual type class, for data that represent textual
--   content
--   
--   Also, exposes a simple utility for conversion between instances, much
--   like fromIntegral converts between Integral instances.
@package textual
@version 0.2.0.0


-- | Type class for textual data and simple (fromItegral like) conversion
--   between them.
--   
--   The conversion utility here, although simple may not be the fastest
--   one available, and aims at preserving the textual representation of
--   data, not its binary structure. This, given the existence of codecs
--   with ambiguous representation means that the following function may
--   evaluate to False:
--   
--   mayBeFalse :: Textual a => a -> Bool mayBeFalse a = let b =
--   fromText a in a == b
module Data.Textual.Class

-- | Type class for data structures that are logically text
class IsString a => Textual a
toString :: Textual a => a -> String
