Of course, some of us might actually not think threads are all that far off;
there are many implementations around, and have been for years.  I mean,
by the time standards committees (like POSIX) in this case get in the
act, as they are today, things are way down stream....

I am very much opposed to crufting up libraries to cover up Unix's faults.
And I don't believe threads are so far in the future that it is worth
the cruft.
