that was the subject of threaded inline code (my def of TIL but some
other acronyms fit that). a cpu/os specific perl backend would generate
only perl op calls in machine code and thread them togethers. this has
nothing to do with OS threads. we just have a name collision problem.

it is debatable whether this gains any speed (several of us think it
will) and will need benchmarking to verify that.
