Description
The data in `Foreign.C.Types` are just newtype wrappers around types which mostly have `Binary` instances already. Is there a reason the C types don't have `Binary` instances?

Research direction
Start by inspecting the definitions in Foreign.C.Types and the existing Binary instances for their underlying types. Check the surrounding instance conventions and relevant tests in the repository; done means the intended C types have consistent Binary support without breaking existing serialization behavior.
