ghc-spool

This library allows conversion between the types from 'Data.ByteString'
(package 'bytestring') and 'Data.Vector.Storable' (package 'vector') without
copying the underlying data. This is useful, for example, when 'ByteString' IO
produces or consumes vectors of numbers in native byte order.
This trick relies on the fact that 'ByteString' and 'Vector' use their
respective 'ForeignPtr's in compatible ways. It works with
'bytestring-0.9.1.10' and 'vector-0.9' on GHC 7.0. It may break with future
releases of these packages. Depending on this library should be seen as a way
to document and standardize an existing hack, and not as an absolute guarantee
of correct behavior.
