I agree as well. I think Robert should just make these routines available in a
library. (Spice up sched.e and rename it to task.e or something) but dont
implement the API internally. It's not really important to me that there would'nt
be multiple call stacks, multiple private data, etc. I liked the idea of
cooperative tasking, only because I hoped Rob would eventually implement
"pre-emptive" thread safety or maybe just awareness later. But clearly he is not
going to. I think Rob should reconsider going with the "Language War" approach
before he messes with the C backend. Doing this will also make it easier for us
to add more features to the multi-tasking library.
