Your package uses TMChans which AFAIK are unbounded.  That means that if the writer is faster than the reader, then everything will be kept into memory.  This means that using TMChans you may no longer say that your program uses a constant amount of memory.  Actually, you lose a lot of your space reasoning since, being concurrent processes, you can't guarantee almost anything wrt. progress of the reader.

Of course, you're free to use TBMChans instead, which are bounded :)

This is what I did in iteratee-stm. The stm-chans package is very nice. (and the results with iteratee-stm were very good as well) John L.
