I remember thinking about this when you brought it up before. If I
were to tackle it, I'd start by defining some constraints on exactly
what is supported and when it can be halted/resumed. That should make
it doable as a starting point. I might even devise a specific
architecture for apps that need to do this - perhaps even a dialect to
define them.
Being able to halt and resume any arbitrary REBOL at any time will be
quite a challenge. The question, for me, is whether you need that
amount of flexibility.
