-Foreign objects (formerly ``Malloc'' pointers) provide a mechanism which
-will let Haskell's garbage collector communicate with a {\em simple\/}
-garbage collector in the IO world. We want Haskell to be able to hold
-onto references to objects in the IO world and for Haskell's garbage
-collector to tell the IO world when these references become garbage.
-We are not aiming to provide a mechanism that could
-talk to a sophisticated garbage collector such as that provided by a
-LISP system (with a correspondingly complex interface); in particular,
-we shall ignore the danger of circular structures spread across the
-two systems.
+A thread id is represented by a pointer to the TSO itself, to ensure
+that they are always unique and we can always find the TSO for a given
+thread id. However, this has the unfortunate consequence that a
+ThreadId# for a given thread is treated as a root by the garbage
+collector and can keep TSOs around for too long.
+
+Hence the programmer API for thread manipulation uses a weak pointer
+to the thread id internally.
