I think Ed’s structs package explicitly makes use of this :)

Hi all,
I have a quick question about ArrayArray#. Is it safe to store *both* an ByteArray# and ArrayArray# within the *same* ArrayArray#? For instance: - at index 0 of an ArrayArray# I store a different ArrayArray#, - at index 1 of that same ArrayArray# I store a ByteArray#.
It seems to me that this should be safe/supported from the point of view of the runtime system: - both ArrayArray# and ByteArray# have the same kind/runtime representation, - the arrays have a header that tells rts/GC what they are/how to handle them. (But I, as a user, would be responsible for using the right primop with the right index to read them back)
Is this correct?
Thanks a lot!
