--- If several threads are competing to take the same 'MVar', one is chosen
--- to continue at random when the 'MVar' becomes full.
+-- There are two further important properties of 'takeMVar':
+--
+-- * 'takeMVar' is single-wakeup. That is, if there are multiple
+-- threads blocked in 'takeMVar', and the 'MVar' becomes full,
+-- only one thread will be woken up. The runtime guarantees that
+-- the woken thread completes its 'takeMVar' operation.
+--
+-- * When multiple threads are blocked on an 'MVar', they are
+-- woken up in FIFO order. This is useful for providing
+-- fairness properties of abstractions built using 'MVar's.
