On: Beating Decades of Optimized C with 80 Lines of Haskell

[olliej]

Here is my super dumb implementation. Doesn't handle multibyte, doesn't handle stdin -- but I don't think the Haskell version did either, so I don't have a problem with that limit.

It's the simplest thing that could obviously work, but its generally not tested beyond the most basic versions.
