I was debugging a thread blocked indefinitely on STM Transaction error recently, which ended up being caused by calling waitAnyCancel with an empty list.
More recent versions of async throw custom errors when this family of functions is passed an empty list.
I was wondering if, instead of throwing an error when passed empty lists, it would be better for these functions to take a Data.List.NonEmpty, which is in base?
