-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Right now there's no replacement for packages in the HP (e.g. Cabal),
leading to all kinds of ugly workarounds. See
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/1108 for some of the pain this
causes.
If QSem is broken we should fix it, not deprecate it and let users deal
with the difficulty of finding a correct semaphore implementation that
they can use.
