Einar Karlson, my predecessor, asked for daemonic forking as for Java. In Java you have ordinary threads and daemonic threads; the process ends when only daemonic threads are still running. The GHC team seem to have gone ahead and made all forked thread daemonic! So can we have ordinary threads back please? Still, daemonic threads are nice, and I wonder whether we should really have two fork functions, since I can't right now think of a way of synthesising one from the other.
