[Gcl-devel] fork TODO

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

Just a few other thoughts here to record so that they get handled
eventually:

1) returning unreadable objects from the child, e.g. hash tables
2) limiting the number of concurrent jobs in a sane and nested fashion 
3) Having the compiler push a no-side-effects property to the function
        symbol's plist which might result in the automatic insertion
        of p-let.  Consider a little static float statistic per p-let
        which would empirically measure when the fork was worth it and
        take action accordingly.

Take care,
