[Haskell-cafe] Idiomatic way to parse bytecodes

[William Yager]

Based on what you've said, I would define a Serial or Binary instance for
single bytecodes, and then use this to write a function :: ByteString ->
[Bytecode].

Then, you can convert raw JVM bytecode into some convenient Haskell data,
and then do whatever processing you want to this.
