Thanks! I didn't know about this package.
This package seems great, but after I did some experement, it turns out to be not thread-safe.
If we apply capture or silence to time-consuming actions, it eats entire output to stdout even
made by other thread. For example, following code does not output anything and captures the output by another thread:

```haskell
main :: IO ()
main = do
  print =<< (replicateM_ 100 $ do
    threadDelay (10^5)
    putStrLn "Hey, I'm here!") `concurrently`
     (capture_ $ replicateM_ 100 $ do
        threadDelay (10^5)
        putStrLn "Hey, You're there!")
```

I'm now suspecting that implementing the thread-safe versions of silently / capture
is impossible...
