hGet package:storablevector

Read a Vector directly from the specified Handle. This is far more efficient than reading the characters into a list and then using pack.

Read the rest of a file lazily and provide the reason of termination as IOError. If IOError is EOF (check with System.Error.isEOFError err), then the file was read successfully. Only access the final IOError after you have consumed the file contents, since finding out the terminating reason forces to read the entire file. Make also sure you read the file completely, because it is only closed when the file end is reached (or an exception is encountered). TODO: In ByteString.Lazy the chunk size is reduced if data is not immediately available. Maybe we should adapt that behaviour but when working with realtime streams that may mean that the chunks are very small.
