This library is intended to be used as a drop-in replacement for
the primitive library in test environments. It adds bounds-checking
to all functions in primitive that are able to cause segfaults.
It is not recommended to use this library in production. However,
if you are testing a library or application you wrote that uses
primitive, you can temporarily replace your primitive dependency
with primitive-checked, and your segfaults will become normal
haskell exceptions that you can hunt down with GHC's stack trace
facilities.
The versioning for this library matches the version of primitive
that is targeted. The first three digits of the version match the
version of primitive. The fourth digit is used for bug fixes.
This packages deviates slightly from the PVP in that functions
can be added to the API with only a bump to the fourth digit.
