To be clear, I merely offered to interview Leonerd to generate an
outline to help kick start his attempt to write a "how to do
concurrency in Perl" document.  It will be *his* document, not mine.

Moreover, it is not intended to replace existing threads docs.  Rather
it should address the "XY problem" that leads people to think that
threads are the way to go in the first place.

I still think threads should be discouraged in threads documentation.
