Paolo, This new pipes-core release looks very nice, and I'm happy to see exception and finalizer safety while still retaining the general structure of the original pipes package. One thing that Gabriel and Michael have been talking about, though, that seems to be missing here, is a way for a pipe to indicate that it's finished with its upstream portion, so that upstream finalizers can be immediately run without waiting for the downstream parts of the pipe to complete. Do you have an answer for this? I've been puzzling it out this morning, but it's unclear to me how something like this interacts with type safety and exception handling. -- Chris
