GHC 5.04.2 won't adopt any library changes, as it's only a patchlevel
release (we don't make API changes between patchlevels, only major
releases).
I don't really mind too much what names we use, I'd be fine with keeping
the current names but changing the types if that's the concensus.
Also still unresolved is what to do about atomicModifyIORef and friends,
BTW.
Cheers,
Simon
