Data.ReinterpretCast

Memory reinterpretation casts for Float/Double and Word32/Word64.

Currently we use the array method from http://stackoverflow.com/a/7002812/263061.

If you need something like Int32 or similar, fromIntegral will do the job within the integral types (so to/from Word* are the only conversions needed).
