    The member functions of this class facilitate writing values of
    primitive types to raw memory (which may have been allocated with the
    above mentioned routines) and reading values from blocks of raw
    memory.  The class, furthermore, includes support for computing the
    storage requirements and alignment restrictions of storable types.

    Memory addresses are represented as values of type @'Ptr' a@, for some
    @a@ which is an instance of class 'Storable'.  The type argument to
    'Ptr' helps provide some valuable type safety in FFI code (you can\'t
    mix pointers of different types without an explicit cast), while
    helping the Haskell type system figure out which marshalling method is
    needed for a given pointer.

    All marshalling between Haskell and a foreign language ultimately
    boils down to translating Haskell data structures into the binary
    representation of a corresponding data structure of the foreign
    language and vice versa.  To code this marshalling in Haskell, it is
    necessary to manipulate primitive data types stored in unstructured
    memory blocks.  The class 'Storable' facilitates this manipulation on
    all types for which it is instantiated, which are the standard basic
    types of Haskell, the fixed size @Int@ types ('Int8', 'Int16',
    'Int32', 'Int64'), the fixed size @Word@ types ('Word8', 'Word16',
    'Word32', 'Word64'), 'StablePtr', all types from "Foreign.C.Types",
    as well as 'Ptr'.

    Minimal complete definition: 'sizeOf', 'alignment', one of 'peek',
    'peekElemOff' and 'peekByteOff', and one of 'poke', 'pokeElemOff' and
    'pokeByteOff'.
