Of course, as Max Hailperin pointed out to me, supporting speculative
concurrency with scheduler facilities [as proposed, for example, by
Henry Baker and Carl Hewitt in The Incremental Garbage Collection of
Processes, AI Working Paper 149, July 1977] makes constructs such as
imagined by my previous posting a whole lot more reasonable to think 
about.
