I'm not sure I understand. Previously you said that you didn't think
it would be possible to implement a preemptively multithreaded Emacs,
because there is too much existing Elisp code that is not thread-safe.
To do multi-threading in Emacs we would have to somehow specify in the
C code the places where a thread-switch is allowed.
When I said "No" above, I meant that my code doesn't do anything
special to support multithreading.
Multithreading won't be easy, but we don't want to add to the difficulty.
Please don't take a step away from that goal.
