getting a Binary module into the standard libs

[Hal Daume III]

Hi,

I was wondering if it was on the list of things to do to get a Binary
module into the standard libraries.  I know SimonM has a version for GHC
and there's an NHC version (I think the original).  I don't know about
Hugs.

I ask because by putting it in the standard libs, library developers could
feel more pressured to release their data structures with Binary
instances.
