-- | The concurrent variable type used with the 'Conc'
-- monad. Internally, these are implemented as 'IORef's, but they are
-- structured to behave fairly similarly to 'MVar's. One notable
-- difference is that 'MVar's are single-wakeup, and wake up in a FIFO
-- order. @CVar@s wake up all blocked threads, and it is up to the
-- scheduler which one runs next.
--
-- In fact, due to implementation failings (which will be fixed!) at
-- the moment, mutating a @CVar@ wakes up /all/ threads blocking in an
-- appropriate way (i.e., on read or write, depending on the
-- mutation), not just the ones blocked on this particular @CVar@.

-- You should therefore keep 'IO' blocks small, and only perform
-- blocking operations with the supplied primitives, insofar as

--
-- Note: In order to prevent deadlock, the 'Conc' runtime will assume
-- that a deadlock situation has arisen if the scheduler attempts to
