How to use this for serialization

I started a thread on ghc-devs, but it's relevant here to the authors too:

If I can figure out a way to adhere to the requirements specified by the Data.Compact.Serialize module, I'll open a PR with documentation or an example Dockerfile on how to do it.

I think this serialization could be used for network transfer, distributed computing, caching, etc. with only a copy overhead and no actual serialization overhead. But if it's impractical I can cross it off my list.
