Long term we'd like to switch bytestring over from ForeignPtr to ByteArray#, if possible. There are currently some technical obstacles to such a switch
BTW I'm working with Roman Leshchinskiy to create the vector-bytestring package which provides: type ByteString = Data.Vector.Storable.Vector Word8 and exports the same API as the bytestring package (no support for lazy bytestrings yet) A storable vector still uses a ForeignPtr but maybe this will make the switch to unboxed Vectors (which use ByteArray#) easier. Expect some code to be up somewhere next week. Bas
