Well what can I say.. things can become more complex and you cannot always say this is parallelism and this is concurrency ore something. It's just nice when the libary does not get in the way when you are in a situation where eg. throughput and responsiveness or whatever else matter. Sometimes it can be a small change that can make or break the deal.
Agreed. I'm not trying to be pedantic here, and I'm certainly willing to make **small** changes even if they stretch the scope somewhat into general concurrency. It's just that I don't want to make big changes, especially if they will make the interface more complex, reduce efficiency and/or lock me into certain implementations. (For example, using a priority queue precludes supporting work stealing later without breaking the priority feature.)
