Note that Foreign.Marshal isn't part of the FFI addendum, so it is legal
for it to re-export Foreign.Marshal.Pool. There are several libraries
whose hierarchical versions export more than the standard versions (eg.
compare System.IO with IO).
However, a difficulty arises because Foreign is shared by the
hierarchical world and the non-hierarchical world. So Foreign must not
re-export Foreign.Marshal.Pool. Given this, I don't have a strong
opinion about whether Foreign.Marshal should re-export
Foreign.Marshal.Pool (there are arguments both ways).
Cheers,
Simon
