[Haskell-cafe] Storable Vector as a Storable record?

storable-record just assists with generating Storable instances. It helps 
using correct aligment and correct order of entries. It doesn't do any 
magic to the Storable class.

Are the sub-arrays of the same size? If not, you might have a look into 
Data Parallel Haskell, that flattens arrays of arrays into one array and 
does the bookkeeping and optimizations for you. In other languages you 
might use an array of pointers to the sub-arrays, but I'm uncertain 
whether Ptrs are storable.
