--    modifyMVar_ writeVar $ \old_hole -> do
--      putMVar old_hole (ChItem val new_hole)
--      return new_hole
--
-- is because if an asynchronous exception is received after the 'putMVar'
-- completes and before modifyMVar_ installs the new value, it will set the
-- Chan's write end to a filled hole.

-- either channel from then on will be available from both.  Hence this creates
