[Caml-list] Bigarray I/O and block copy functions?

I'm looking for a Bigarray equivalent of Pervasives.output, so that I
can write a subrange of a Bigarray (specified by offset and length) to a
channel.  Before I hack an external C function for this, has anyone done
it already?

Other natural operations that would be useful:
  - input from a channel into a specified subrange of a Bigarray
  - blit between Bigarrays and strings (both directions)

I'm only using 1-dimensional arrays of 8-bit elements, but the above
operations also make sense in (some) more general cases.
