Language idea - simple thread spawning

Yes, I read the first three pages then looked up the Thread API before
I realizing what it wanted to teach me. (Probably this has taught me
something. I'm not sure what it is.)

You all make great points, and I apologize for being ignorant of how
close we already were.

That said, I still yearn for the day when the "normal" programming
languages treat multiprocessing as a core language concept and not
just a (standard) library you pass closures/delegates/interfaces to.

If working with Lua has taught me anything, it's that languages with
optionally omitted parenthesis are annoying. ;-)
