[Haskell-cafe] Lazy decoding of a list with Data.Binary

[Niklas Hambüchen]

I just encountered the following problem:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11695373/lazy-decoding-of-a-list-with-data-binary

If I get that correctly, there once was a discussion about adding a
Data.Binary.Lazy to binary:

http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-November/034758.html

What happened to this?

And if binary is strict by default now, shouldn't the binary-strict
package be deprecated?

Is there an alternative these days how to lazily write/read binary?

Thanks
Niklas
