This technique can be generalized such that the thread doesn't start until
all arguments are ready, and arguments do not have to be ready or passed at
thread creation time as follows:
thread worker(<<@, <<@, <<@....)
and worker() would be defined as
procedure worker(arg1, arg2, arg3,...., argn)
arg1...argn don't even have to come from one one place or even one thread.
The thread/function is created in a suspended state, while the arguments
trickle in "slowly" from different points/times.
