    -- A channel is represented by two @MVar@s keeping track of the two ends
    -- of the channel contents,i.e.,  the read- and write ends. Empty @MVar@s
    -- are used to handle consumers trying to read from an empty channel.

    -- |'Chan' is an abstract type representing an unbounded FIFO channel.

     = Chan _UPK_(MVar (Stream a))

       deriving (Eq,Typeable)

    type Stream a = MVar (ChItem a)

    data ChItem a = ChItem a _UPK_(Stream a)
      -- benchmarks show that unboxing the MVar here is worthwhile, because
      -- although it leads to higher allocation, the channel data takes up
      -- less space and is therefore quicker to GC.

    -- See the Concurrent Haskell paper for a diagram explaining the
    -- how the different channel operations proceed.

    -- @newChan@ sets up the read and write end of a channel by initialising
    -- these two @MVar@s with an empty @MVar@.

    -- |Build and returns a new instance of 'Chan'.

    -- To put an element on a channel, a new hole at the write end is created.
    -- What was previously the empty @MVar@ at the back of the channel is then
    -- filled in with a new stream element holding the entered value and the
    -- new hole.

        old_hole <- takeMVar writeVar
        putMVar old_hole (ChItem val new_hole)
        putMVar writeVar new_hole

    -- The reason we don't simply do this:
    --
    --    modifyMVar_ writeVar $ \old_hole -> do
    --      putMVar old_hole (ChItem val new_hole)
    --      return new_hole
    --
    -- is because if an asynchronous exception is received after the 'putMVar'
    -- completes and before modifyMVar_ installs the new value, it will set the
    -- Chan's write end to a filled hole.

            -- Use readMVar here, not takeMVar,
            -- else dupChan doesn't work
        return (new_read_end, val)

    -- Note [modifyMVarMasked]
    -- This prevents a theoretical deadlock if an asynchronous exception
    -- happens during the readMVar while the MVar is empty.  In that case
    -- the read_end MVar will be left empty, and subsequent readers will
    -- deadlock.  Using modifyMVarMasked prevents this.  The deadlock can
    -- be reproduced, but only by expanding readMVar and inserting an
    -- artificial yield between its takeMVar and putMVar operations.

    -- |Duplicate a 'Chan': the duplicate channel begins empty, but data written to
    -- either channel from then on will be available from both.  Hence this creates
    -- a kind of broadcast channel, where data written by anyone is seen by
    -- everyone else.
