Yes, `mallocArray' is just a wrapper around `mallocBytes'.

That can be free'd with `MarshalAlloc.free', too.

Yes, `rallocBytes' is meant, but thinking about it, we might
actually add a function:
realloc :: Storable b => Ptr a -> IO (Ptr b)
I think, it is more orthogonal this way. Any objections?

PS: I'll make sure that these points are clarified in the
FFI spec.
