Comment (by dfeuer):

 One question: we currently expose `hs_lock_stable_tables` and
 `hs_unlock_stable_tables` from `includes/HsFFI.h`. As far as I can tell,
 these aren't documented in the user's guide, and aren't used as FFI
 imports in any packages that ship with GHC. Are these exposed
 intentionally? If so, they should be documented (and I'll have to
 implement versions that lock both the stable name table and the stable
 pointer table). Otherwise, I'd like to be rid of them.
