-- fixIO
-- $locking
-- Implementations should enforce as far as possible, at least locally to the
-- Haskell process, multiple-reader single-writer locking on files.
-- That is, /there may either be many handles on the same file which manage
-- input, or just one handle on the file which manages output/. If any
-- open or semi-closed handle is managing a file for output, no new
-- handle can be allocated for that file. If any open or semi-closed
-- handle is managing a file for input, new handles can only be allocated
-- if they do not manage output. Whether two files are the same is
-- implementation-dependent, but they should normally be the same if they
-- have the same absolute path name and neither has been renamed, for
-- example.
--
-- /Warning/: the 'readFile' operation holds a semi-closed handle on
-- the file until the entire contents of the file have been consumed.
-- It follows that an attempt to write to a file (using 'writeFile', for
-- example) that was earlier opened by 'readFile' will usually result in
-- failure with 'isAlreadyInUseError'.
