  Description     : Haskell threading utilities and timeouts
 The module Child wraps forkIO to implement the concept of "child
 processes". Uncaught exceptions in children will be propagated to you,
 you can wait for children to terminate, and they can return values to
 you when they do. You can run two computations "in parallel" and get
 the result of the one that returns first, and you have a generic
 timeout function, which can be used to write non-blocking I/O code with
 standard System.IO functions.
