I don't see how this can work for arbitrary types without auto-
generating the serialization code. Once the code is generated you can
just store the type dictionary at the beginning of the file and use
it to deserialize.
I'm not sure this can be done on top of Binary since the type tag
will determine the Binary instance to use.

Hello Haskell,
one Streams library user asked me about support of serialization
TOGETHER with type information which means implementation of
"instance Binary Data" (any other variants?). can anyone describe me
how i can implement this? Binary instance is very like Show/Read, just
uses compact binary encoding of values
