-- This implementation is based on the principle that the FFI primitives
-- used, though declared as IO actions, actually only manipulate local
-- state, and thus could have been declared in the strict ST monad:
--
--	mallocForeignPtrBytes :: Int -> ST s (STForeignPtr s a)
--	withForeignPtr :: STForeignPtr s a -> (STPtr s a -> ST s b) -> ST s b
--	copyBytes :: STPtr s a -> STPtr s a -> Int -> ST s ()
--	castPtr :: STPtr s a -> STPtr s b
--	peekElemOff :: Storable a => STPtr s a -> Int -> ST s a
--	pokeElemOff :: Storable a => STPtr s a -> Int -> a -> ST s ()
--
-- (where STPtr s and STForeignPtr s are just like Ptr and ForeignPtr,
-- but confined to the region s)
--
-- Since the strict ST monad has the same representation as the IO monad,
-- we are justified in coercing such actions to the ST monad.

-- This conversion may be safely applied to computations that manipulate
-- only local state, but will give a runtime error if the IO action does
-- any concurrency.
