Oddness with binary-0.5.0.2 user install
Hello folks, The docs for binary-0.5.0.2 on Hackage claim that their is a Binary instance for lazy ByteStrings, but there does not seem to be such an instance in my local install of binary-0.5.0.2. In addition, the docs on Hackage claim that there is an Applicative instance for the 'Get' type, which my install is also lacking. I've verified this in ghci and by looking at my own locally generated haddocks. The module structure for the 'binary' package is pretty straightforward - so I don't think I'm missing any imports in ghci. Has anyone seen this before? Antoine

So I just did a "cabal install binary --reinstall" and it only broke two packages and also fixed the issue. The Applicative instance was guarded by some ifdefs, but I didn't see anything similar for the lazy bytestring instance. Antoine
