CTypes is ok, because it part of the FFI. However, I don't
see much point in a marshalling that uses multi-parameter
classes and specifics of ghc's implementation of IO.
In a sense, it is a pity because these things might be
available in the next version of Haskell. But until then,
as Haskell needs portable library bindings, I think, we
shouldn't make any use of such features.
