[Haskell-cafe] carry "state" around ....

[Galchin, Vasili]

Hi Brandon,

     So based on what you are saying I kind of need a Haskell AIO
"imperative"/monadic function that basically returns a handle that is
associated with this AIOCB chunk-of-memory .... This handle gets passed
around during an AIO I/O session?? Sorry for talking too "imperatively" ;^)
<<< smiley face ;^)
