It is? This is news to me. An obvious counter example seems to be
the collections package which has been put here. This is not shipped
with ghc and I'm not aware of any plans to do this. Perhaps if

First of all, this fact would be new to me, furthermore this would be a highly
volatile categorization. Should URLs change when a package suddenly gets into

The actual format used by Data.Binary is not explicitly described

So the answer for persistence is Data.Binary - ASN.1 converter that
can be used in extrema?
