+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 forkOn and forkIOWithUnmask.")
