Phase 7 (TBD) - Sharing of variables between threads (ideally without limitation, but that might not be realistic)
TODO:
- create a branch and try to use CK atomics. goals:
- make sure this is stable on x86 (first priority)
- see if this will build/work on ARM
- rename SET to CAS (compare and swap)
- anything else?
- This is higher priority than mutexes (though not by much), because we want cyclone to work on both ARM and x86.
- bring exceptions into local thread data? anything else?
also, will probably need to lock shared resources such as I/O...
- create a branch and try to use CK atomics. - seems done, just keep an eye on this
- multiple mutators, and threading functions/types. probably want this on a new branch, when ready
part of this is implementing the beginnings of srfi-18, to create multiple threads, sync them, etc

crashes, I think printing out result from (read)
- assume I/O and eval both have threading issues

DONE:
- need to cooperate when a mutator is blocked
