    -- ^This is a way to look at the pointer living inside a
    -- foreign object.  This function takes a function which is
    -- applied to that pointer. The resulting 'IO' action is then
    -- executed. The foreign object is kept alive at least during
    -- the whole action, even if it is not used directly
    -- inside. Note that it is not safe to return the pointer from
    -- the action and use it after the action completes. All uses
    -- of the pointer should be inside the
    -- 'withForeignPtr' bracket.  The reason for
    -- this unsafeness is the same as for
    -- 'unsafeForeignPtrToPtr' below: the finalizer
    -- may run earlier than expected, because the compiler can only
    -- track usage of the 'ForeignPtr' object, not
    -- a 'Ptr' object made from it.

    -- 'ForeignPtr', using the operations from the
    -- 'Storable' class.
