I think that's too safe-looking. Anything that translates to something
involving unsafe* should be tagged with 'unsafe' somewhere as well.
Also, as unsafe* is still compiler specific, I think a pragma is
probably most appropriate:
{-# GLOBAL-MUTVAR #-}
i :: IORef Int
i = unsafePerformIO (newIORef 1)
Hear hear!
As a Haskell newbie things are hard enough to keep straight without
that kind of magical unsafe stuff going on.
Just sayin'
