I've found that there is a package that provides such a type class: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/reference

I'd suggest to add similar functionality to base, perhaps with some different wording - I'd rather use Data.MRef (as "mutable reference").

There are more such packages: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/stateref http://hackage.haskell.org/package/monad-statevar http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ref-fd http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ref-tf http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ref-mtl
