+A binary serialization library, similar to binary, that introduces an
+isolate primitive for parser isolation, and replaces the asynchronous
+errors with a user-handleable Either type. Similar to binary in
+performance, but uses a strict ByteString instead of a lazy
+ByteString, thus restricting it to operating on finite inputs.
