Congralulations, you read an email address out of a database! Commiserations, it was parsed into a LazyByteString and the rest of your stack demands a Text or a String or a CuneiformCodepointArray or whatever...

IHP actually provides a `cs` (cs as an abbrev for convertString) function that is always in scope. With that function you can easily convert between all different string types.

Nice one. This sort of usability thing sounds simple enough, but having it is really nice, especially for newcomers.
