If it gives us threads, I'm game. I think that in general, good
programmers tend to be aware on some automatic level of what "might change
in the future", and not code such that their code breaks if the language
changes a little. I hope I'm one of those programmers. I think that this
point is important. That's why I said it and I lay claim to it. It's mine.
