I plan to write the extension in Elisp.

Anyone who wants Java style threads in their Elisp programs.

Basically, my idea is this:  Suppose you have the following Elisp code:

(defun code ()
   (setq abc 'def)
   (setq def 'ghi))

My mult-threader then generates the following code.

(defun foo-1 ()
   (setq abc 'def)
)

(defun foo-2 ()
  (setq def 'ghi))

Obviously the code gets difficult when you have if/while  constructs.
