Is there any interest or movement in developing thread priority or any other realtime support in Haskell?
Right now, if I have tasks that need to be responsive in real time, even if the realtime needs are very soft, it seems that the only option is to try to ensure that at least one hardware thread is kept clear of any other activity.
To be very useful to me, thread priority would not need to come with very strict guarantees, but there would need to be a way to make sure that `par` sparks and DPH inherit the priority of the sparking thread.
In part I ask because I'm working on a small library to support a degree of cooperative task prioritization.

Yea, Thread priorities would be great. ATM you can multiplex IO at different OS-thread levels with IO completion ports etc, but it kinda sucks.
