Some people may suggest that you to create top-level IORefs using unsafePerformIO, but I don't recommend that for this situation.
Well I can't imagine which particular people you have in mind :-) But, as a vocal advocate of sound support for top level mutable state, I would just like to go on record as saying I certainly would not advocate it for this problem. But then again, I wouldn't advocate the use of explicit "entire program state" record passing either :-) Regards -- Adrian Hey
