Somewhat on the topic of optimistic evaluation, I've just thought of
another way to evaluate thunks.
When the program is about to block on some IO, what if we start a
thread to evaluate (any) unevaluated thunks. We'll have additional
system thread, but the blocked one will not actually consume any
processor time.
Seems like this would be bad in cases where the programmer is trying
to exploit laziness, such as using infinite lists, no?
