* Two list-like types. Standard list was strict, the other list

It would take a fair amount of Prelude and Data.List hackery, but I
think the IsString typeclass could be used to make ByteStrings fit
into the mold. Although we also need to think about Data.Stream
(which duplicates Data.List) in this context
