I know. I literally gave the example of a Python Literal in the post you're replying to. TS too. :)

My overall point is that Haskell's type system is sufficiently expressive (you may not have "A" | "B" | "C", but you do have A | B | C) that there's no obvious remaining use case for string literals, unless you're thinking of typing input by way of expected literals instead of actually parsing it, which is... a choice. :P
