-- Version History:
-- 0.1.0.0 -- initial release
-- 0.1.0.2 -- disable profiling
-- 0.2 -- Critical bugfix and add Counter.
-- 0.2.2 -- Add more counters
-- 0.2.2.1 -- Minor, add warning.
-- 0.3 -- Major internal change.  Duplicate GHC RTS barriers and support non -threaded.

Synopsis: A safe approach to CAS and other atomic ops in Haskell.

Description:

  After GHC 7.4 a new `casMutVar#` primop became available, but it's
  difficult to use safely, because pointer equality is a highly
  unstable property in Haskell.  This library provides a safer method
  based on the concept of "Tickets".
 .
  Also, this library uses the "foreign primop" capability of GHC to
  add access to other variants that may be of
  interest, specifically, compare and swap inside an array.
 .
 Changes in 0.3:
 .
 * Major internal change.  Duplicate the barrier code from the GHC RTS and thus 
   enable support for executables that are NOT built with '-threaded'.
