And, with a lot of help from Koen, I'm about to fold in a
much more efficient implementation of Read, which may help.

| I tend to deal a lot with very very large data files in 
| Haskell and my current approach to dealing with getting data 
| out of one program an into another is writing it to a file 
| using 'show' and then reading it in using 'read'.  
| Unfortunately, this is very slow and produces very large 
| files which are very slow to read and write.  Is there 
| another option?  I don't care about H98 compatibility, so if 
| there's a way to somehow just dump ghc's internal 
| representation (I also don't care about x-platformness) to a 
| file and read it back, that would be excellent.  Other 
| suggestions are welcome too :).
