Resource limits for Haskell

[Alexander Kjeldaas]

Nice!

The API has ccsDynamic, while the example uses newCostCentreStack.

Would it be possible to attach a listener to GC-events and dynamically
adjust the listenCostCentreStack to trigger before major GCs?

Is this secure in the Safe Haskell sense?  Can this be used to create a
secure computation wrt resources?  Could we listen to MUT seconds?
