   We don't have OS-threads, so why bother?

In principle, our designs and hopefully lots of the code, would work or port
over to a true parallel system or a VM that did threads with native threads.
Besides keeping that in mind at design time, it would also be kind to mark
code with thread-reentrancy problems loudly in the sources, to help out the
guy that does that port down the line.
