I don’t like throwTo because then I need to keep track of which threads are currently interested in the signal, to not accidentally throw an exception to a thread that does not expect it. Just seems too dangerous to me :-) Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner e-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.joachim-breitner.de ICQ#: 74513189 _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
