[Haskell-cafe] broken IO support in uvector package, when using non primitive types

Ok, thanks.

For now, I think that the simple solution is to not use UArr (a:*:b), but
(UArr a, UArr b).


Or I should just switch to Data.Array.Unboxed.
The operations I need with the array are only:
- sum of elements
- binary search
- serialization/deserialization
- sorting (but right now I sort the list before creating the array)

with a very big data set.

For my problem, is uvector the best solution?
What about storablevector or cvector, instead?
