Of course, it's also possible that the flipside is true--that
gather/take is just another normal way to set up interthread queueing,
if the thread is spawned in the dynamic scope of the gather.
Under that view all the subthreads share the outer dynamic scope.
Maybe that's saner...

Suppose I have a gather block that spawns several threads, each of which
calls take several times. Obviously, the relative order of items returned
from take in different threads is indeterminate, but is it at least
guaranteed that no object returned from take is lost?
