I strongly support this idea.  This is exactly the signal/slot
concept (aka delayed lambda expression evaluation) we've
been discussing a few months ago.

The problem of spawning threads which call arbitrary functions
with any number of parameters (including non-static member
functions of some object) should be considered solved, I think.
