> Why it should not have any effect inside the `uninterruptibleMask`?
This is a free design choice, although I think it makes more sense and is
more consistent for `allowInterrupt` to be a no-op inside
`uninterruptibleMask`. Think of `allowInterrupt` as an interruptible
operation, like `takeMVar`, but one that just returns immediately without
actually blocking.
