I'm not entirely happy with the location with the module, but with the current implementation where the type class defines only forkIO, I think it should live in Control.Concurrent. Since it doesn't define a new monad, but only a concurrency-specific restriction on existing monads, it seems that Control.Monad would be the wrong home. Am I missing something?
