Re: eiffel, threads, coroutines, generators, continuation passing

	You can do SCOOP and still use "micro Threads" underneath a la 
StacklessPython, via continuations, instead of OS Threads or POSIX 
Threads. Or choose which one you want for a given program. A switch at 
compile time would be ideal. After all, StacklessPython is 
binary-compatible with Python, just replace a DLL.
