-	<longdescription>
-		A binary serialization library, similar to binary, that introduces an isolate
-		primitive for parser isolation, and replaces the asynchronous errors with a
-		user-handleable Either type.  Similar to binary in performance, but uses a
-		strict ByteString instead of a lazy ByteString, thus restricting it to
-		operating on finite inputs.
