Send textual messages to a Handle in a thread-friendly way. The motivation for this package is described in a blog post on Haskell's Missing Concurrency Basics (http://www.snoyman.com/blog/2016/11/haskells-missing-concurrency-basics). The simple explanation is, when writing a line of textual data to a Handle - such as sending some messages t o ther terminal - we'd like to have the following properties: * Properly handle character encoding settings on the Handle * For reasonably sized messages, ensure that the entire message is written in one chunk to avoid interleaving data with other threads * This includes the trailing newline character * Avoid unnecessary memory allocations and copies * Minimize locking * Provide a simple API
