Agreed. However, it would be interesting if it had support for creating 
PPM's. lol. That's fairly low level. Well, it matters not. ;^)

Humm... Having std threads is a good idea along with membars. But, 
that's my personal thoughts. Before we had to use POSIX and a 
"sufficient" compiler. Now that its in the language, its much better... 
I don't have to create custom ASM libs for everything that is low level. 
An example:

Can't believe its still there way back from 2005. Wow, how time flies. :^)
