Just a small hint: That page seems to be out of date compared to: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/binary-0.3 The library looks quite nice, but I'm missing support for reading/writing Int{8,16,32,64} and Float/Double (in IEEE format, currently *the* binary representation in most formats I know) in LE/BE/host byte order. Have I overlooked something? Using unsafeCoerce# and friend there are probably workarounds for this, but having it in the "official" API would be quite helpful for I/O of real-world formats.
