spool: Convert between ByteString and Vector.Storable without copying
This library allows conversion between the types from Data.ByteString
(package bytestring) and Data.Vector.Storable (package vector) without
copying the underlying data. This is useful, for example, when ByteString
IO produces or consumes vectors of numbers in native byte order.
This trick relies on the fact that ByteString and Vector use their
respective ForeignPtrs in compatible ways. It works with
bytestring-0.9.1.10 and vector-0.9 on GHC 7.0. It may break with future
releases of these packages. Depending on this library should be seen as a
way to document and standardize an existing hack, and not as an absolute
guarantee of correct behavior.
