Which supposedly uses "topic" to resolve .:send_one into $this.send_one.
If that works, then I'm happy -- I like being able to control topic and
$_ differently. But if C changes topic, then what?

Of course, that also upset the mathematicians, who wanted to call them

Makes sense to me. Although I would be more inclined to think of pop as

It wasn't aimed entirely at Rob. I have a bad habit on mailing lists of
vaguely replying to the entire thread without remembering who said what
and being too lazy to

think further discussing this is really fruitful, as it has already been
discussed more than is good for us.
Fair point. I mean no offense, nor do I wish to beat a dead horse. I
just want to make sure it's dead, instead of merely resting.

Damian, I use threads in C++ a lot in my day to day job. We use an
in-house library which isn't much more than a thread class which you
inherit from and give a Run method to, and a load of locks of various
(sometimes ill-defined) kinds.
Let me say: it's not good. Threads with semaphores and mutexe
