        Realistic.

        Don't underestime how hard it will be to
extend the abstract machine to support threading,
and to change the core language to meet all the issues
that raises -- AND to reach a consensus. Not to mention
examining the whole Standard library again in the light
of concurrent execution.  This is a BIG job.

        If you think it is easy -- please write a paper,
including modifications to the existing wording.
I'm sure it would be welcomed. [Send me a copy!]
