Data.Binary.IEEE754

This module backports ieee754 double/float combinators from binary 0.8.4 to older version, and simply re-export these combinators for binary >= 0.8.4. You can safely import this module alongside Data.Binary.Get and Data.Binary.Put.

Implements casting via a 1-elemnt STUArray, as described in http://stackoverflow.com/a/7002812/263061.
