Documentation: [memory on hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/memory)

A generic memory and related abstraction for haskell:

* A polymorphic byte array abstraction and function similar to strict ByteString.
* Different type of byte array abstraction.
* Raw memory IO operations (memory set, memory copy, ..)
* Aliasing with endianness support.

Also provides some useful helpers:

* Fast Hashing : [SipHash](https://131002.net/siphash/), [FNV1](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowler%E2%80%93Noll%E2%80%93Vo_hash_function).
* Built-in base encoding : Base16, Base32, [Base64](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64).
