[Haskell-cafe] Data.List / Map: simple serialization?

Binary should be pretty easy to use (and more advisable if you need
performance), since it defines the Binary instance for every basic type,
including of course Map.
I don't know about cereal, but I suppose it will be pretty much the same.
The major difference is that binary offers lazy serialization while cereal
is strict.
