My idea is about an _optional_ automatic yielding for threads, so it still could be useful for those threads which are self contained. Those could choose to start with periodic automatic yielding, so their code do not have to be sprinkled with manual yield calls, impacting code readability.
How can a thread be made to yield at some arbitrary point of its code
without risking problems? E.g., a thread could be in the middle of
some operation that must be done atomically.
