#2488: ByteString hGet documentation is incomplete

Architecture: Multiple | Os: Multiple
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
All four versions of hGet for the various Data.!ByteString implementations
claim that it "[reads] n bytes into a !ByteString." This is not always the
case. For example, it appears that on EOF less than n bytes are read. The
conditions under which it will not succeed in reading n bytes into a
!ByteString (be it less than n, or it raising some sort of error) should
be documented.
