[Haskell-cafe] Re: Handling custom types in Takusen

I noticed that in Takusen there're just two instances to implement to make any Haskell type db-serializable: DBBind / SqliteBind for serialization and DBType for deserialization.

FWIW, I have two patches lying around (attached) that I wanted to send to the Takusen maintainers anyway. They (the patches) implement (only) instance DBType Data.ByteString for Oracle and Sqlite backends. They are rudimentarily tested ("hey, seems to work!"), anyway a review might be in order because I am not sure I understand the internals good enough -- for all I know I might have introduced space leaks or whatnot.
