This block thingy looks interesting. Oh, while we're on the topic of
multi-processors, I've invented an algorithm that allows parallel
lock-less insertions on a linked list. Could be useful for
NSConnections, as it's WAY more efficient than anything else I've ever
seen (and, yes, I am including

There is no API documentation yet, but it seems that it basically
spawns a set of threads at different priorities

Interesting - that ^{ syntax to describe a block is somewhat ugly, and it doesnt
give any deats of how you associate data with a block (which is necessary if
you want to get rid of locks).
It still all looks a bit
