[Haskell-cafe] Shouldn't this be lazy???

Reading code like the following:

main = do
  s <- getContents
  let r = map processIt (lines s)
  putStr (unlines r)

I was thinking all IO operations were lazy. But in fact it looks like
getContents is lazy by design but not the whole IO stuff.

Thank you all for your helpful answers,

Olivier.
