Comment:
...you would also need the dictionary for storing FastStrings.
But anyway:
I think this is an important thing to get into 6.10.1, since a lot of
applications will want to store GHC's data types in its own files, without
having to duplicate the readBinIface / writeBinIface machinery, which is
what Haddock currently does. Besides being ugly, the code I had copied
from GHC doesn't work anymore with GHC 6.9, due to changes in the Binary
module.
