Does native mean "Haskell only" - without FFI?

I think "not Haskell" would be piping to a separate non-Haskell process or calling by FFI to another language to do the interesting work. Thus "native" is not using these for the interesting work. E.g. I can call out to zlib with the FFI and call it a Haskell zlib library. It's not really a native Haskell implementation, though.

By the way, a native zlib implementation would definitely go on my wishlist. Any takers? ;) Michael
