Description

-- | Spawn a new process, supplying it with a new 'ReceivePort' and return
-- the corresponding 'SendPort'.
spawnChannel :: forall a. Typeable a => Static (SerializableDict a)
             -> NodeId
             -> Closure (ReceivePort a -> Process ())
             -> Process (SendPort a)
spawnChannel dict nid proc = do
    us <- getSelfPid
    spawn nid (go us)
    expect
  where
    go :: ProcessId -> Closure (Process ())
    go pid = cpNewChan dict
           `bindCP`
             (cpSend (sdictSendPort dict) pid `splitCP` proc)
           `bindCP`
             (idCP `closureCompose` staticClosure sndStatic)

That expect might pick up the wrong SendPort - I think we need to create a channel for the reply first.
