Just a small hint: That page seems to be out of date compared to: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}
maybe this? http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/binary/0.3/doc/html/Data-Binary-... Also note that many Haskell standard types are instances of the Binary class. I might have misunderstood what you're asking for, though...
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.
