I really like this design.
One question, are you planning to write the MVar utility functions
using 'mask' or using 'nonInterruptibleMask'? As in:
> withMVar :: MVar a -> (a -> IO b) -> IO b
> withMVar m f = whichMask? $ \restore -> do
> a <- takeMVar m
> b <- restore (f a) `onException` putMVar m a
> putMVar m a
> return b

Bas
