My preference is the same as John Cowan's: kill it. If not, put warnings in
the manual. I don''t find SRFI-18's warning (in the paragraph headed NOTE:)
strong enough, as it uses the phrase `may be a problem', not `is virtually
guaranteed to be a problem'. Further, I don't know what fraction of Chicken
users actually go and read the SRFIs.
its fairly hard to use the threading in chicken without reading the srfi
first, as thats where its documented :)
im against removing thread-terminate! and friends because theyre useful. id
rather deprecate mutexes and the like for a cleaner system of currency, or
(at the very least) augment thread-terminate! in such a way that it waits to
terminate until the held mutexes (mutii? mutices?) are dropped.
