(crossposts trimmed).

OK; so I guess we only want threads and voices to move around, so we
should have syntax like. ... No wait -- I think that this is fairly
uncommon; I think it is better to devise a Scheme level solution (like
providing functions to move around contexts), and see if that gets
used so much that it warrants new syntax.
