The transaction does not detect anything inside the unsafeIOtoSTM.  But to
implement this manually is  simple: use "retry" whenever you need to retry
the local  transaction. if the affected transactions are more than the local
trnasaction, create an special TVar to be inspected by all of them. for
example  doesTheArrayHasChanged :: TVar Bool.
