Sexpm is a generic s-expression codec, you can decode to and encode from whichever representation, and hence types you want. What it won't however is parse the same syntax. I don't think that adopting OCaml's string literal convention for your sexp strings is a good idea, especially in the age of Unicode. In other words, sexpm parses UTF-8 streams, not byte streams.
