@hackage libphonenumber0.1.2.0

This package provides bindings for the C++ version of the libphonenumber library. The bindings currently do not include AsYouTypeFormatter and ShortNumberInfo. The C++ library must be of version >= 8.7.0.

The interface largely resembles that of the original unified C++, Java, and JavaScript version of the library, with some minor changes to make the interface more Haskell-like.

The provided functions are pure, under the assumption that we are the only user of the C++ library, i.e. that no one else has installed a global logger which could observe side-effects from library calls.

The underlying library internally uses UTF-8 encoded byte strings. To avoid decoding overhead where it is unnecessary, and to avoid a dependency on text, we use ByteString throughout the library instead of Data.Text.Text.
