Perhaps there should be a way of disabling the autothreading? Something similar to the way that Lisp can take a block of code and tag it as "do not execute at this time". The idea is that there may be some cases where one might want to look at a Junction as an object in and of itself, rather than as a superposition of other objects; and simply extracting its contents into a list or set won't always do, since it might be Junction-specific details at which you want to look. And as long as Junctions autothread by default, I don't see them losing any power. -- Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang
