[Haskell] thread-local variables

[Robert Dockins]

Sorry to jump into this thread so late.  However,  I'd like to take a moment 
to remind everyone that some time ago I put a concrete proposal for 
thread-local variables on the table.

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/11010

I believe this proposal addresses the initialization issues that Einar has 
been discussing.  In my proposal, thread-local variables always have some 
defined value, and they obtain their values at well-defined points.

The liked message also gives several use cases that I felt motivated the 
proposal.
