Never say never... The signatures for peekElemOff and pokeElemOff in the
report are less general than the ones in fptools/libraries/base:

    peekElemOff :: Storable a => Ptr a -> Int -> IO a

vs.

    peekElemOff :: Storable a => Ptr b -> Int -> IO a

(same for pokeElemOff). The latter is more flexible and is more in line with
the signatures of plusPtr/minusPtr. Furthermore, changing such a basic function
would probably break quite a lot of code, so I propose to change the report,
not the libraries.

Cheers,
