replace Control.Concurrent.QSem
Right now there's no replacement for packages in the HP (e.g. Cabal), leading to all kinds of ugly workarounds. See https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/1108 for some of the pain this causes.
If QSem is broken we should fix it, not deprecate it and let users deal with the difficulty of finding a correct semaphore implementation that they can use.
