I agree! This would be nice. Every so often I think that I'd like to
get back into working on some implementation issues, but the current
code hurts my brain. I understand the motivations behind the
current solution, but that doesn't keep my brain from hurting.
(I also agree that such a redesign would be, uh, non-trivial.)
Some form of threading ('live co-expressions', perhaps?) would be
wonderful. I'd like to see it designed right, however, and not just
another "let's throw POSIX threads in" solution. It would be fun
to talk about possible approaches and what would fit well in Unicon.
