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.
