Mailbox variables

A mailbox variable can be thought of as a box that is either empty or full. create () creates a new empty box, and create_full x creates a new full box containing x.

read removes the value from a full mailbox variable and returns it, but blocks if the mvar is currently empty. Symmetrically, write puts a value into the mvar but blocks if the mvar is already full.

type 'a t
val create : unit -> 'a t
val create_full : 'a -> 'a t
val read : 'a t -> 'a t
val write : 'a t -> 'a -> unit t
