well, Nikodemus had some plans for green threads for SBCL and it
didn't sound like a rewrite.

and adding first class heaps would be a very useful addition with or
without any of the other erlang stuff. i don't know how hard that is,
but i assume it should be rather simple if the responsibility is
pushed over to the user to make sure that there are no dangling
pointers after destroying a heap.

or am i missing something?
