Re: IVars

Good question.  That must be a matter of taste, because as you say the read will always produce the same result.  But it sill is a bit of a strange operation.

Oh.  Simple enough.  Thanks.

Another question:  why the IO in readIVar :: IVar a -> IO a, instead of just readIVar :: IVar a -> a?  After all, won't readIVar iv yield the same result (eventually) every time it's called?

You can make them from MVars.

what became of (assign-once) IVars?  afaict, they were in concurrent haskell and now aren't.
