>From what the belowmentioned Web pages seem to imply, it seems
impossible to have an elisp program do some sort of "multithreading"
whatsoever; I mean the simultaneous execution of tasks (writing
simultaneously in two different buffers, for instance).

Is that so? IOW, you /always/ have to wait for a function to finish?
