[Haskell-cafe] Bit fiddling

[robert dockins]

Probably you have seen this already, but I thought I'd mention it on the 
off-chance you missed it:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Data.Bits.html
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Data.Word.html

Probably you'll want to think about an IOUArray of Word8, or something 
similar.

Its unclear to me exactly what you mean by "bit fiddling", but perhaps 
this addresses your question.
