see, there are advantages to being an old fart. we can remember further
back what crap we are reinventing this time around the wheelhouse.

remember mainframes with centralized everything, then mini computers
which decentralized, and workstations and pc's which decentralized
fully. now the trend is back to centralization as in app servers and
back end server farms, etc.

inline threaded code is something whose time has come again.
