tablecloth-bucklescript@0.0.7 fails to build String.toList with bs-platform-8.3.1 for

[Tristan de Cacqueray]

It seems like the published version of tablecloth-bucklescript is failing to build with this error:

$ yarn add tablecloth-bucklescript
$ cat yarn.lock
bs-platform@^8.2.0:
  version "8.3.1"
  resolved "https://registry.yarnpkg.com/bs-platform/-/bs-platform-8.3.1.tgz#49ac0d7b84bcec190a7361353557cae965f92c67"

  This has type: Js.String.t Belt.List.t (defined as Js.String.t list)
  Somewhere wanted: char list

  The incompatible parts:
    Js.String.t (defined as string) vs char

According to the master version, it seems like this is missing a map Char.fromString characterString before the final fromArray.

Sorry about that, we need to release a new version.

Quickfix for those looking for a temporary solution is to use any Bucklescript version before 8.3, e.g. latest 8.2:

  "devDependencies": {
    "bs-platform": "~8.2"
  },

This is probably fixed in version 0.0.8-1 which I just published.

However, we're only supporting latest versions of rescript in the future 0.1.0 - if this is still an issue please report it and we'll fix it.
