Foreign.Marshal.Utils.{copyBytes or moveBytes} documentation incorrect

copyBytes "copies the given number of bytes"

moveBytes "copies the given number of elements"

e.g. seen at http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Foreign-Marshal-Utils.html#v%3AcopyBytes

But they actually do (approximately) the same thing! I think it must really be bytes, not elements - after all, they don't even require (Storable a).
