Concurrent threads don't carry on running when GHCi is
waiting for input.
- No, they don't. This is because the Haskell binding
- to the GNU readline library doesn't support reading from the
- terminal in a non-blocking way, which is required to work
- properly with GHC's concurrency model.
+ This should work, as long as your GHCi was built with
+ the switch, which is the default.
+ Consult whoever supplied your GHCi installation.
