Are there any plans for having a multi-threaded XEmacs? That would
require fundamental changes in the elisp to make operations on it
thread safe and reentrant.
 A very simple use case I have experienced is when opening large
files. Users would usually start reading from the top, if the reading
was async-threaded, a lazy loading of the file could have been
achieved. Well, with such support, XEmacs can become a good general
purpose programmable engine!
