Description

It seems that through the dependency memory == 0.15, this package is restricted to GHC 8.10, which is very old. To make contributions easier, it would be great to support at least GHC 9.4.

Research direction

Start by locating the package configuration and dependency declaration for memory == 0.15, then check how the current GHC 8.10 restriction is imposed. Update the compatibility constraints to support at least GHC 9.4 and verify that the project builds and its existing tests pass with the newer compiler.
