    -- A storable array is an IO-mutable array which stores its
    -- contents in a contiguous memory block living in the C
    -- heap. Elements are stored according to the class 'Storable'.
    -- You can obtain the pointer to the array contents to manipulate
    -- elements from languages like C.
    --
    -- It is similar to 'Data.Array.IO.IOUArray' but slower.
    -- Its advantage is that it's compatible with C.
