Minor nits: there's a footnote saying "Finalizers in Haskell cannot be savely [sic] realised without requiring support for pre-emptive concurrency". I'd suggest dropping "pre-emptive": with cooperative concurrency it's perfectly safe to collect the finalizers in GC and fork them next time you're back in the IO monad (though it's not very timely).
True. Thanks, Manuel
