Hi Racketeers,

I'm a little unclear on the right way to use custodians and wills.

I have a thread that can only be shut down during certain points: it does
some writing operations on a port and this write must finish under normal
circumstances. I worry that if this thread is managed by a custodian and
custodian-shutdown-all is called that the thread may die in the middle of a
write operation on a port. Is this where I would use a will? I don't quite
understand how this behavior is intended to be supported.

Thanks for any advice,
Deren
