non-blocking read operations in Chan, Sem, QSem, SampleVar
The non-blocking "tryTakeMVar" makes MVars useful in solving more problems.
The lack of a non-blocking wait/read/take in QSem(N)/Chan/SampleVar means that some problems have to be solved by re-implementing these modules.
This "feature request" is for such an operation to be added to these modules.
Hmm...I may have a crack at this myself. (see also #3159 (closed) and #3160 (closed))
