thread-yield runs in the context of the thread that yields.  You make
it sound like there's some entity other than the involved threads
which runs thread-yield, but that's not what happens.

I really suggest to read the code, it is not too large and not hard to
understand how it works.  Then such discussions could be much more
meaningful.
