+Synopsis:            Instances of Data.Binary and Data.Serialize for vector
+Description:
+   Instances for Binary for the types defined in the vector package,
+   making it easy to serialize vectors to and from disk. We use the
+   generic interface to vectors, so all vector types are supported.
+   Specific instances are provided for unboxed, boxed and storable
+   vectors.
+   .
+   To serialize a vector:
+   .
+   > *Data.Vector.Binary> let v = Data.Vector.fromList [1..10]
+   > *Data.Vector.Binary> v
+   > fromList [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] :: Data.Vector.Vector
+   > *Data.Vector.Binary> encode v
+   > Chunk "\NUL\NUL\NUL\NUL\NUL...\NUL\NUL\NUL\t\NUL\NUL\NUL\NUL\n" Empty
+   .
+   Which you can in turn compress before writing to disk:
+   .
+   > compress . encode $ v
+   > Chunk "\US\139\b\NUL\NUL\N...\229\240,\254:\NUL\NUL\NUL" Empty
