Comment (by Isaac Dupree):
Well, "number of CPUs available" should have IO in its type, because there
are systems where the number of CPUs can change while they're running. I
am already suspicious about the rest of the things in System.Info not
having IO types (especially if we consider the potential of portable
interpreters similar to Yhc, where a running Haskell program could be
moved from one system to another - or even be running concurrently on
multiple machines at once (actually, then adding even IO to the types
wouldn't make them fully make sense)).
