My proposed solution to this is to implement recvBuf.  For the sake of symmetry I think that it it would also make sense to add sendBuf, although I don't have any performance-based reasons for this.

I do intend to add recvBuf (perhaps as recvInto). I'm not so sure about sendBuf as it can be implemented with almost no performance cost by wrapping a ByteString constructor around a buffer.

Before preparing patches - I have a crude one for testing that works - I would like to get an idea of if this change acceptable or not. And if so discuss which API calls might be appropriate to add.

I'd prefer if you just added Network.Socket.recvBuf for now, against the current HEAD.

Sure, I will prepare a patch.
