Hi
All those libraries really force the data because they all are written in Haskell. If you want to serialize thunks then you will need some support from RTS.
Good to hear that my conjectures aren't too far from reality.
Does any Haskell implementation have that kind of RTS support?
Not yet. I ever don't know of anyone planning to do that.
Actually I think Yhc has exactly this kind of support, and you can even ship these thunks over the wire and reconstruct them on a different machine :) http://darcs.haskell.org/yhc/src/packages/yhc-base-1.0/YHC/Runtime/API.hs Poorly documented, but it does work. Use at your own risk! Thanks Neil
