-- The 'ST' monad proper.  By default the monad is strict;
-- too many people got bitten by space leaks when it was lazy.

-- | The strict 'ST' monad.
-- The 'ST' monad allows for destructive updates, but is escapable (unlike IO).
-- A computation of type @'ST' s a@ returns a value of type @a@, and
-- execute in "thread" @s@. The @s@ parameter is either
--
-- * an uninstantiated type variable (inside invocations of 'runST'), or
--
-- * 'RealWorld' (inside invocations of 'Control.Monad.ST.stToIO').
--
-- It serves to keep the internal states of different invocations
-- of 'runST' separate from each other and from invocations of
-- 'Control.Monad.ST.stToIO'.
--
-- The '>>=' and '>>' operations are strict in the state (though not in
-- values stored in the state).  For example,
--
-- @'runST' (writeSTRef _|_ v >>= f) = _|_@
