Nice!

The API has ccsDynamic, while the example uses newCostCentreStack.

Would it be possible to attach a listener to GC-events and dynamically adjust the listenCostCentreStack to trigger before major GCs?

Is this secure in the Safe Haskell sense? Can this be used to create a secure computation wrt resources? Could we listen to MUT seconds?

forkIOWithSpaceLimit :: IO () -> {- limit -} Int -> IO ThreadId

I have a proposal (and some unpublished experimental patches) which do
just that. Check it out at: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/ResourceLimits

Comments, bikeshedding and critique appreciated.

Cheers,
Edward
