The usual fudge is:
import IORef
import IOExts
globalVar :: IORef Int
globalVar = unsafePerformIO $ newIORef 0
However, beware of creating more than one "global variable" of the
same type. If you enable optimisation, common subexpression
elimination may result in both names referring to the same IORef.
