 This library 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

 in the 'blaze-html' HTML templating library to allow for the efficient
 serialization of HTML escaped and UTF-8 encoded characters.
