Comment (by jberryman):

 I don't really follow you. I'm certainly already masking exceptions in my
 `readChan` to avoid leaving the structure in a broken state, but an
 exception can (and must be permitted to) be raised when `readChan` is
 blocking on an empty queue (blocking on an MVar internally).
