[Haskell-cafe] STM, orElse and timed read from a channel

Folks,

How would you implement a timed read from a channel with STM? I would  
like to return Timeout if nothing was read from a TChan in X ms.

Is this a basic two-thread timeout implementation or is there a more  
elegant way of implementing this using `orElse`?

	Thanks, Joel
