-- The 'String' type in this module is just a synonym for the type @List Char@.
-- It provides better performance compared to the standard Haskell @String@
-- type and can be used almost as a drop-in replacement, especially when used
-- with @OverloadedStrings@ extension, with little differences.
--
-- See "Streamly.List", <src/docs/streamly-vs-lists.md> for more details and
-- <src/test/PureStreams.hs> for comprehensive usage examples.
