Nhc's Binary lib is a little overkill for random access (though
it's quite nice for other stuff :-). In vanilla Haskell you can
simply use hSeek/hGetPosn/hSetPosn, see

   http://haskell.org/onlinelibrary/io.html

But my main point is the the non-reaction to my mail from Wed,
16 Jun 1999 (Repositioning Handles). Does nobody care about this
stuff? Not even the slightest objection? If this is a case, my
suggestion should find its way into Haskell2000 quite easily...

P.S.: The only response was from Ferguson, pointing out possible
problems with CR/LF vs LF, but I take Java's point of view:
"A newline is a newline is a newline."
