There's one more change I'm thinking about: perhaps instead of
wait :: Async a -> IO (Either SomeException a) waitThrow :: Async a -> IO a
we should reverse the naming scheme, rename waitThrow to wait and wait to something else (waitCatch?). Rationale: waitThrow seems to be the version we need most often, and it's simpler to use.
wait :: Async a -> IO a waitCatch :: Async a -> IO (Either SomeException a)
Thoughts? Better names for waitCatch?
Perhaps the recently freed tryWait would be analogous with Control.Exception.try.
