The storablevector package implements Data.StorableVector.Lazy

Just as with Data.ByteString.Lazy, it contains a linked list of chunks.

I think that this can improve performances of my implementation, since 
it is much more efficient to append elements at the end of the vector 
(it avoids a lot of copying).

In my draft implementation of the the Netflix Prize in D language, I 
used a similar implementation, base on:
http://mdounin.ru/hg/nginx-vendor-current/file/tip/src/core/ngx_list.h

Unfortunately, D garbage collector is really bad when there are a lot of 
allocations, so I gave up.
