Like me, of course.

That wasn't what I had in mind, because it forces the
thread parameter to take the specific value RealWorld.

But I am not sure anymore that it is needed. It turned out
that my case was just another instance of the first
kind of awkwardness. So I no longer have any evidence
that the second kind of awkwardness exists. So
I withdraw my proposal.

Thanks,
