I think it can't. If I write a (pure) function f today I should be able
to come back later and make its implementation multithreaded without
breaking all the other code that's running. I don't see how I can do
that if instead of locking you plan to rely on people not-yielding. If
there's no level at which parallelism can become an implementation
detail, I think you don't have a workable programming model.
