What about lazy bytestrings? I wasn't aware that vector also supports huge 
logical array which are suitable for very large io streams. I'd be glad if 
vector is also suitable for such applications. But if not, then there is still 
a need for the bytestring package in order to support streaming gigabytes of 
data in a small constant sized heap. 

Cheers,
