Simon, one more feature that i really missing in GHC now is ability to
*decrease* amount of memory allocated from OS. now, if at some point
program required 100 megs, it will hold all these 100 megs allocated until
program finishes and when mmeory goes low, this (unused!) memory will be
swapped to disk. can this be changed so that after GC memory returned back
to OS?
