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 [forkOnIO] and [forkIOUnmasked].
