imho, it's better to start from NewBinary library and add features of
SerTH to it. i can make TH support. btw, where i can download
NewBinary version about you talk? there is many different variations.
one disadvantage of original Binary library as well as all its
derivatives is support only for memory- and Handle-oriented streams.
my library instead accepts any stream, you just provide functions to
read/write when create Binary object. i propose to add this facility
too, smth like:
createBinary readF writeF = return Binary {readF=readF,writeF=writeF}
createBinary4File h = createBinary (hGetChar h) (hPutChar h)
createBinary4Memory addr size = do ptr <- newIORef addr
let read = do ...
write = do ...
createBinary read write
