To nitpick:

Pursuing this lazy-threaded variables notion, a question. Given:
sub slow_func is threaded { # me likey this auto-parallelizing syntax!
...
}
Would we want to say that _both_ of these have the lazy-blocking behavior?
my $result := slow_func();
print $result; my $result = slow_func();
print $result;Or would the first one block at C<print>, but the second block immediately at the C<=>?
The obvious answer is that the := binding "passes through" the lazyness, but the = assignment doesn't. But I wonder if that isn't a bit too obscure, to put it mildly.
