     The runtime tries to run synchronous threads to completion. Sometimes it's
     not possible to continue running a thread, for example when the thread
     tries to take an empty 'MVar'. The runtime can then either throw a
     'WouldBlockException', aborting the blocking action, or continue the
     thread asynchronously.
