SRFI-18 states:
Read and write operations on the store (such as reading and writing a
variable, an element of a vector or a string) are not required to be atomic.

Yes, many mutate operations are not srfi-18 threads aware, in my

Also, just as an FYI, Chicken's SRFI-18 threads are not system threads,
and so cannot avail themselves of additional processors. If real
parallel operations are your goal then you'll want to look
