| <longdescription> |
| After GHC 7.4 a new `casMutVar#` primop became available, but it's |
| difficult to use safely, because pointer equality is a highly |
| unstable property in Haskell. This library provides a safer method |
| based on the concept of "Tickets". |
| |
| Also, this library uses the "foreign primop" capability of GHC to |
| add access to other variants that may be of |
| interest, specifically, compare and swap inside an array. |
