-- | Generic binary serialisation using binary and syb.
--   
--   Instead of manual or semi-automated generation of instances of
--   <a>Data.Binary.Binary</a> you just derive <a>Data.Data</a> and the
--   library automatically figures out how to (de-)serialize the type.

-- | The following primitive datatypes are used as basecases and get
--   serialized according to their instances of <tt>Data.Binary</tt>:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li><a>Char</a></li>
--   <li><a>Int</a></li>
--   <li><a>Word</a></li>
--   <li><a>Integer</a></li>
--   <li><a>Int8</a></li>
--   <li><a>Int16</a></li>
--   <li><a>Int32</a></li>
--   <li><a>Int64</a></li>
--   <li><a>Word8</a></li>
--   <li><a>Word16</a></li>
--   <li><a>Word32</a></li>
--   <li><a>Word64</a></li>
--   <li><a>ByteString</a></li>
--   <li><a>Text</a> encoded as Utf8</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   <a>Float</a> and <a>Double</a> are serialized according to
--   <tt>IEEE754</tt>. For any algebraic datatype just make it an instance
--   of class <tt>Data.Data</tt> by simply deriving <a>Data</a> on
--   definition or try stand-alone-deriving.
