Nice: bit aligning if you want it, little or big endian IO. Intermixed
endianness in the same datastream even[1]. However:

  3.2.10 Defining Binary instances for custom serialization formats (unwritten)

Does that mean that the code is unwritten or that the documentation is
unwritten. IAMFI :)

There seems to be some overlap between Streams and ByteStrings: Could
a Stream built on a ByteString backend benefit from all the fusion
work that's been put into ByteStrings recently? Oh wait, I see you
list that as 'future work' on the wiki page...

[1] Which sick application *needs* intermixed endianness?
