/* {Asynchronous Events}
 *
 * There are two kinds of asyncs: system asyncs and user asyncs.  The
 * two kinds have some concepts in commen but work slightly
 * differently and are not interchangeable.
 *
 * System asyncs are used to run arbitrary code at the next safe point
 * in a specified thread.  You can use them to trigger execution of
 * Scheme code from signal handlers or to interrupt a thread, for
 * example.
 *
 * Each thread has a list of 'activated asyncs', which is a normal
 * Scheme list of procedures with zero arguments.  When a thread
 * executes a SCM_ASYNC_TICK statement (which is included in
 * SCM_TICK), it will call all procedures on this list.
 *
 * Also, a thread will wake up when a procedure is added to its list
 * of active asyncs and call them.  After that, it will go to sleep
 * again.  (Not implemented yet.)
 *
 *
 * User asyncs are a little data structure that consists of a
 * procedure of zero arguments and a mark.  There are functions for
 * setting the mark of a user async and for calling all procedures of
 * marked asyncs in a given list.  Nothing you couldn't quickly
 * implement yourself.
