[Haskell-cafe] Re: Are handles garbage-collected?

[Keean Schupke]

You return the handle in the state, are you saying the complex
funtion does some IO on the handle first? I don't see why this
excludes doing it the other way round, passing the work function
to your complex function as an argument.
