Should these functions be available through the standard FFI? IMHO they should.
I don't understand the question. Are you asking which modules should export them?
Yes. IMHO they should be made as "standard" as the rest of FFI and exported from module Foreign.
I guess, you could a (maybe inefficient) version of unsafePerformIO using the FFI functionality anyway. This gives us a default implementation, so I thing, we should include it. I am not so sure about unsafeInterleaveIO.
I'm not sure about including these functions in Foreign. Their location should be standardised, sure: but that's something to be discussed as part of the new library proposal. I don't feel they belong in Foreign. Cheers, Simon
