then Binary library want to access ByteString at low level, imports
Data.ByteString.Base and discovers that all great low-level functions
defined there can't work with lists :)

btw, i has the same problem with my Streams/AltBinary lib. once i
missed one INLINE pragma and got 200x slower computation even with
"ghc -O2"!
