[...] why is the Pool type polymorphic, and allocation in a pool restricted to only allocating values whose type matches the pool's type parameter? It would be much nicer to support allocating different types in the same pool.

No deep reason, it was just a remnant of the module's history. I've removed the type parameter from Pool's constructor. The updated module and docs are already uploaded on haskell.org.

Uh-oh! :-] Fixed. Admittedly, I've only tested the some of the non-array stuff... Thanks for the lightning-fast reply (including the code review!), S.
