didn't I mention that "concurrent" may be inappropriate and misleading, 
and that I think it is bad practice to rely on the programmer annotating 
the dangerous cases, instead of the safe cases?

wouldn't the safe approach be to assume that the foreign call may do 
anything, unless the programmer explicitly tells you about what things 
it won't do (thus taking responsibility).

cheers,
