Hello Andrew,
Anyone have any comments on how ByteString is different from, say,
UArray Word8?
mainly, algorithms implemented. the only technical difference is that
UArray uses ByteArray# and ByteString uses PinnedByteArray#, which has
different behavior in GC
I just wish I could have all that ByteString goodness without being
limited to only having Word8 to play with. :-(
(E.g., the inverse BWT makes use of positive integers that are likely to
be way bigger than 255. But there isn't a fast packed Word16 or Word32
array I can use there...)
