Comment:
Replying to [ticket:4888 batterseapower]:
> Both of them raise the exception immediately and thus terminate the
program. However, given the docs for throwTo and uninterruptibleMask an
equally valid interpretation would be for the second test to block
forever. Clarifying this might be useful.
Yes, we should add something to the docs.
> (If you try either example in GHCi then no exception is thrown - is that
a bug?)
Quite possibly.
