Hello,

My brain is a "out to lunch". I have read the paper "Beautiful Concurrency" (as well as a bunch of "gaming" papers regarding multi cores). I am playing with the "Account" example in the paper. In the paper, the alias "type Account = TVar Int" is used. I want to actually apply the function "withdraw" to an example "Account" parameter. I keep getting a type check error. Can someone give me a concrete example of

withdraw ......

??

Kind regards, Vasya
