Your array contains machine-sized Ints, which in practice are likely<br>
either 32-bit or 64-bit, while a ByteString is the equivalent of an<br>
array or 8-bit values. So you'll need to somehow convert the Ints to<br>
Word8s. Do you know if you need big or little endian?<br>
<br>
A basic approach would be:<br>
<br>
* Use freeze to convert your IOArray into an IArray<br>
* Use putIArrayOf and put (from cereal) to generate a Putter value<br>
* Use runPut to generate a ByteString from that<br>
