Holger (I think) said a long time ago that it would be possible to put
multi-tasking/threading, or somesuch into REBOL but that it wasn't
likely to happen soon. "Perhaps next year" I think he said, but
which next year he was talking about I don't know. (: But if it's
possible, we should get it one day I guess.
