This package provides functions to fork threads and
wait for their result, whether it's an exception or a
normal value.
Besides waiting for the termination of a single thread
this packages also provides functions to wait for a
group of threads to terminate.
This package is similar to the
@threadmanager@, @async@ and @spawn@ packages.
The advantages of this package are:
* Simpler API.
* More efficient in both space and time.
* No space-leak when forking a large number of threads.
* Correct handling of asynchronous exceptions.
* GHC specific functionality like @forkOn@ and @forkIOWithUnmask@.
