-- XXX: [2018-02-09] I'm having trouble with the `constraints` package (it seems
-- that the version of Type.Reflection.Unsafe in the linear ghc compiler is not

-- it), therefore, I'm redefining `Dict` here, as it's cheap.

-- This ought to be read a `newtype` around `Storable`. This type is abstract,
-- because using Storable this way is highly unsafe: Storable uses IO so we
-- will call unsafePerformIO, and Storable doesn't guarantee linearity. But
-- Storable comes with a lot of machinery, in particular for
-- architecture-independent alignment. So we can depend on it.
--
-- So, we restrict ourselves to known instances that we trust. For base types
-- there is no reason to expect problems. Tuples are a bit more subtle in that
-- they use non-linear operations. But the way they are used should be ok. At
-- any rate: in case a bug is found, the tuple instances are a good place to
-- look.
