There's the stm-io-hooks [1] package but it looks like it hasn't been
updated in a while.

So I'm working on a project that uses STM to run a lot of things in parallel without the headaches of locks. So far it's working beautifully, STM rocks. But there's one snag...
Sometimes I need those threads to do some IO like printing logging info. I'd like to make these IO chunks atomic with respect to one another so that the logging output isn't garbage. Since I'm using STM everywhere else, I'd love to use it for this too (instead of mixing STM and non-STM concurrency) except you can't embed IO in STM.
I could just use STM vars as locks to force the atomicity, but locks are ugly and bug-prone. So what's the current best practice for doing this kind of thing?
