Concurrency

[John Meacham]

I have tried to summarize the current thinking into a proposal on the
wiki.

http://haskell.galois.com/cgi-bin/haskell-prime/trac.cgi/wiki/Concurrency

I split it into 3 parts. 

the standard - all haskell' compilers must implement

optional preemption - ability to preempt pure code, fairness guarentees,
interleaved evaluation operators (merge, nmerge)

optional OS threads - bound threads, SMP, reentrant concurrent FFI calls
supported. 

comment or modify it at will.

        John
