This is a combination of 'takeMVar' and 'putMVar'; ie. it takes the value
from the 'MVar', puts it back, and also returns it.

'withMVar' is a safe wrapper for operating on the contents of an
'MVar'. This operation is exception-safe: it will replace the
original contents of the 'MVar' if an exception is raised (see
"Control.Exception").

A safe wrapper for modifying the contents of an 'MVar'. Like 'withMVar',
'modifyMVar' will replace the original contents of the 'MVar' if an
exception is raised during the operation.

A slight variation on 'modifyMVar_' that allows a value to be
returned (@b@) in addition to the modified value of the 'MVar'.
