threadDelay can't handle long times
With (Control.Concurrent.threadDelay :: Int -> IO ()) and the parameter interpreted as microseconds, the longest delay time is some 35 minutes, which I find somewhat short. Of course it's possible to call threadDelay several times to implement longer delays, but I ask whether this is the interface we want to have.
