I'm not proposing that keywords/builtin routines be added to support
threads. Merely just asking that the interpreter source be made re-entrant.

There is already a library to use threads for Linux, wrapped for Euphoria,
but its useless as the interpreter itself isnt re-entrant, and hence, cant
use threads.

This would also apply to Windows programming, as well as any other future
platform which supported threads.

If the PEU interpreter source code was made re-entrant, then it would be possible
use C thread libraries to manage threads in PEU.

    As a second (or subsequent step) why not add threading
    support directly to the language?
    pthreads I "beleive" is a good cross platform threading
    library??
    Details about the new commands and syntax would
    obviously need to be discussed.
