It's not exactly threadless. There is one server thread that waits for 
clients, and for each client there is one thread that waits for user 
input. The difference is that the client REPL is executed in the main 
thread, sans reading user input. I use my own coroutine and scheduler 
modules to do it in guile-2d. I call it the "cooperative REPL".

I agree that it would be nice to extract this into something that more 
people could use. The modules in question are (2d coroutine), (2d 
agenda), and (2d repl coop-repl).

Thoughts?
