 I like the way MacRuby unifies GCD's 'sync' and 'async' call into a single
 "dispatch" method.  However, I always need to remind myself which way is
 'true' and which is 'false'.  In addition, it may create ordering issues
 when we add other parameters.

 I think it would be better if dispatch just took an explicit hash; then we
 could say:

 q.dispatch(sync:true)

 which is much easier to figure out.  This would also simplify groups:

 q.dispatch(sync:true, group: g)
