+This library provides an abstraction of buffered output of byte
+streams and several convenience functions to exploit it. For
+example, it allows to efficiently serialize Haskell values to lazy
+bytestrings with a large average chunk size. The large average
+chunk size allows to make good use of cache prefetching in later
+processing steps (e.g. compression) and reduces the sytem call
+overhead when writing the resulting lazy bytestring to a file or
+sending it over the network.
+
+This requires ghc and haskell-text.
+
+After uninstalling, run this command to unregister the package from
+the ghc package database: ghc-pkg recache
