Is there a way to get the underlying Builder of a 'put' of a Binary instance?
The binary package exposes the Data.Binary.Builder module so you can use the Builder monoid directly. There is no need to go via the Put wrapper.
I know, but the Binary class provides only a 'put' method in the 'PutM' monad. I can wrap Put in a newtype with Monoid instance in order to get what I want, but I hoped it would be simpler.
How does the Char instance of Binary serialize?

Since this does not appear in the documentation, this is undocumented behaviour? Just a Haddock deficiency, I know.
