Note that these use the same underlying data structure, but Char8
interprets the contents as Char instead of Word8.  So the B.heads and
B.break should be CS8 - for consistency's sake, you could replace them
all and drop the "B" import.

>                   readField xs | xs == B.empty    = ([],[])
>                                | B.head xs == ',' = ([], B.tail xs)
>                                | B.head xs == '"' = (field, B.tail rest)
>                                     where
>                                        field,rest) = B.break (== '"') xs
