EZ> (Since then, John changed his mind.)

More accurately, Eli changed John's mind, by helping me see that (a) having
the support affects no one but modules that choose to use it, and (b) we can
call it experimental and subject to removal if the experiment fails. At the
very least we'd gain some experience by the attempt, rather than confining
ourselves to thought exercises.

Yes, this.

I'm open to this. I'd *like* to see exploration of alternative paradigms for
expressing concurrency, so merging in the concurrency branch shouldn't be seen
as closing the door, or setting anything in stone.
