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.
