Agreed. I am interested in it, but I'd like to know more about what
problem it's intended to solve. e.g. I've had functions that certainly
do allocation and GC in a process sentinel, and AFAIK that hasn't been a
problem. But a project I'm working on may exercise this kind of
functionality more in the future, so maybe tam.el could be helpful.
