Comment (by sclv):
It also occurs to me that there's an easier general solution that throwing
retry as a real exception -- a flag could be introduced somewhat like
block, except called, e.g., blockRetry, of type STM a -> STM a. Semantics
would generally be the same as with block. blockRetry could wrap every
call to unsafeIOToSTM, for example, and might prove useful elsewhere in
user-generated code.
