* SerTH is a binary serialization library for Haskell. It supports
serializing cyclic datatypes in a fast binary format. SerTH uses template
haskell for deriving the serializing interface for new datatypes.

*Too bad...I did not know it. Not even many people in the #haskell channel,
where i discussed about how badly a functionality such that is needed.

It restores the references when data is deserialized?. My package is text
oriented  and the serialization is readable and eval-uable, so can be used
also for debugging purposes.

I use  System.Mem.StableName.  for it.
