And certainly it will be GHC specific, at least by now. Current
FFI extension is already present in other Haskell implementations
and a library based on it would be relatively portable now.
But I am doing that mainly for learning. If people think
the qforeign would be widely adopted by implementors, than there
is no point in writing my bindings for ncurses besides learning.
Otherwise, it could be of some value to the community.

Thanks.
