Yes maybe, I was hoping I could find a more elegant solution though.

If "consuming" is just writing stuff to files I think Trace (which uses=20
unsafeInterleaveIO) would be just fine, but "consuming" might be more tha=
n=20
that. In that case I'd have to fuse the functions that consume each of th=
e=20
streams, with the function that produces them.=20
