Everybody at XEmacs who has thought about the problem has come to that
conclusion, although the specifics of how the communication would take
place vary.  (Except for those people who think that changing the Lisp
engine to something with sane semantics for a threading environment
should come first; they usually have a multithreaded implementation of
Scheme in mind anyway.)
