well, i am use this all the way :)  simplified example of one usage:

(allocate, shrink) <- memoryAllocator buf size
(buf,size) <- allocate 65536
...
shrink buf realsize


another example:

compress read_f write_f = do
  buf <- malloc 65536
  let go =   len <- read_f buf 65536
             when (len>0) $ do
               ...
               write_f outbuf outlen
               go
  go

and i find this feature very convenient
