OS thread will be used to run the haskell threads. Therefore, using this
module in such applications will result in unpredictable behavior.
Similarly, using this module in @ghci@ is problematic too.

/Note/: The RTS ticker thread may cause @unshare@ to fail as on some GHC
configurations it spawns its own thread using @clone3@ at the start of
a program. To disable it, @-V0@ can be passed to RTS options directly
or via cabal file as @ghc-options: -rtsopts "-with-rtsopts -V0"@.
