When hz!=0, guile-fibers uses with-interrupts/thread-cputime which uses
threads. However, when (provided? 'threads) is false, it uses
'with-interrupts/sigprof', which uses signal handlers and SIGPROF
instead. So with some small tweaks to guile-fibers, it should be
feasible to have singly-threaded, preemptive scheduling.
Greetings,
Maxime.
