Re: Very interesting analysis of "the state of Emacs"

    The way I see it, multithreading within a buffer is a problem we can
    ignore for the next 20 years.

I am not sure of that.  In multi-terminal use it is very likely that
more than one terminal will be operating in the same buffer.

With cooperative multithreading, it will be easy to avoid
changing Lisp threads in the middle of any operation that changes
the buffer contents,  So I don't think operating in the same buffer
will be any problem at all.
