Thread-local contexts may be attached as implicit state at a per-Haskell-thread level.

This module uses a fair amount of GHC internals to enable performing lookups of context for any threads that are alive. Caution should be taken for consumers of this module to not retain ThreadId references indefinitely, as that could delay cleanup of thread-local state.

Thread-local contexts have the following semantics:

• A value attached to a ThreadId will remain alive at least as long as the ThreadId.
• A value may be detached from a ThreadId via detach by the library consumer without detriment.
• No guarantees are made about when a value will be garbage-collected once all references to ThreadId have been dropped. However, this simply means in practice that any unused contexts will cleaned up upon the next garbage collection and may not be actively freed when the program exits.
