Thanks.  I'd appreciate if someone could beat me to it, as I'm busy
merging and testing the concurrency branch, hopefully soon to land on
master.

In any case, could you please wait with pushing this for a few days
until concurrency actually lands?  I'm in the last stages of testing
the merge, and it would minimize the impact of the final merging.  The
changes in lisp.h due to concurrency are very few, FWIW, so I don't
believe it will require you to make changes in your patch due to the
merge.

TIA
