Yeah.
Originally I had planned a somewhat complicated scheme for handling
per-thread let bindings. This scheme required some changes like BVAR.
I lobbied to get these changes into the trunk because carrying big
changes like this on a branch makes merging very hard -- this is partly
what sunk the first concurrency branch.
My planned bindings approach was tricky, though, and due to unrelated
changes in my life, I no longer have the time or energy to think through
all the details to make them work with other changes that have happened
in Emacs since then. So on the new concurrency branch I opted for a
much simpler approach (which may still be wrong :-).
BVAR isn't needed right now. It may be if someone else resurrects the
other approach. It's unlikely I ever will.
