parsec-3.1.0 ( http://hackage.haskell.org/package/parsec-3.1.0 ) works with any token type. However there are combinators like Text.Parsec.Char.satisfy that are only defined for Char datatype. There doesn't seem to be any more general counterpart available.

Should I define my own versions or did I miss something?

Perhaps there are different parser libraries in Haskell that allows:

custom token types
custom parser state (I need to parse stateful format - Wavefront OBJ)
