Comment (by NeilMitchell):

 I still don't understand, most likely because my understanding of what
 causes a BlockedIndefinitelyOnMVar exception is probably wrong. Is there a
 good link to the current semantics? And what actually triggers such an
 exception? Ditto for NonTermination. (And separately, should such pointers
 be added to the Exception docs?)
