I still can't see any reason why each single Haskell thread should have its own searate dictionary. Contrary, since it is common to use forkIO quite casually, and you expect your actions to do the same thing regardless of which thread calls them, this would be disastrous. IMO GlobalVariables.hs shouldn't be aware of threadIds at all.
I think I misunderstood your proposal (GlobalVariables.hs). It seems to do what I would expect, if your version of forkIO is used. I thought by inheriting the dictionary you meant working on a new copy, but it does in fact mean using the same dictionary. Sorry for the confusion. Ben
