I'd like to be able to use Data.Binary (or similar) for compression. Say I have an abstract type Symbol, and for each value of Symbol I have a representation in terms of some number of bits. For compression to be efficient, commonly-used Symbols should have very short representations, while less common ones can be longer.
alternative may be using naive representation for serializing and then running zip/bzip2 compression lib over it. it should be both faster and provide better compression -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
