    -- Working with Handles

    {-
    In the concurrent world, handles are locked during use.  This is done
    by wrapping an MVar around the handle which acts as a mutex over
    operations on the handle.

    To avoid races, we use the following bracketing operations.  The idea
    is to obtain the lock, do some operation and replace the lock again,
    whether the operation succeeded or failed.  We also want to handle the
    case where the thread receives an exception while processing the IO
    operation: in these cases we also want to relinquish the lock.

    There are three versions of @withHandle@: corresponding to the three
    possible combinations of:

            - the operation may side-effect the handle
            - the operation may return a result

    If the operation generates an error or an exception is raised, the
    original handle is always replaced [ this is the case at the moment,
    but we might want to revisit this in the future --SDM ].

    -- finalized once, when both sides are no longer required.

    -- finalized and then we try to use it later, for example if the
    -- handle is referenced from another finalizer, or from a thread that
    -- has become unreferenced and then resurrected (arguably in the
    -- latter case we shouldn't finalize the Handle...).  Anyway,

    NOTE [nonblock]:

    Unix has broken semantics when it comes to non-blocking I/O: you can
    set the O_NONBLOCK flag on an FD, but it applies to the all other FDs
    attached to the same underlying file, pipe or TTY; there's no way to
    have private non-blocking behaviour for an FD.  See bug #724.

    We fix this by only setting O_NONBLOCK on FDs that we create; FDs that
    come from external sources or are exposed externally are left in
    blocking mode.  This solution has some problems though.  We can't
    completely simulate a non-blocking read without O_NONBLOCK: several
    cases are wrong here.  The cases that are wrong:

      * reading/writing to a blocking FD in non-threaded mode.
        In threaded mode, we just make a safe call to read().
        In non-threaded mode we call select() before attempting to read,
        but that leaves a small race window where the data can be read
        from the file descriptor before we issue our blocking read().
      * readRawBufferNoBlock for a blocking FD

    NOTE [2363]:

    In the threaded RTS we could just make safe calls to read()/write()
    for file descriptors in blocking mode without worrying about blocking
    other threads, but the problem with this is that the thread will be
    uninterruptible while it is blocked in the foreign call.  See #2363.
    So now we always call fdReady() before reading, and if fdReady
    indicates that there's no data, we call threadWaitRead.
