What about non-preemptive multitasking? Shouldn't that be possible? I freely
admit total ignorance about the REBOL core design, which might make even
that infeasible, and there would almost certainly be other issues releated
to REBOL's dynamic nature, but it might be an alternate path worth
investigating.
