#5466: Documentation for Chan could be better
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
    Reporter:  pumpkin           |       Owner:                
        Type:  bug               |      Status:  new           
    Priority:  normal            |   Component:  libraries/base
     Version:  7.2.1             |    Keywords:                
    Testcase:                    |   Blockedby:                
          Os:  Unknown/Multiple  |    Blocking:                
Architecture:  Unknown/Multiple  |     Failure:  None/Unknown  
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 The summary is two words, and none of the operations say whether they
 block or not. Someone on reddit was expecting a read to throw an exception
 if the Chan was empty, for example. It also turns out that isEmptyChan is
 deprecated, but the documentation doesn't mention it.
