[MacRuby-devel] Better is always different...

I've been studiously avoiding doing thread programming, but I
realize that it's needed for some kinds of problems.  Anyway,
reading the thread thread made me wonder whether Laurent's new
and improved threads will be compatible with other Ruby thread
implementations or whether (say) some modifications may be
needed to existing code.

More generally, as we learn about how MacRuby varies from other
Rubies, we should document this lore in a wiki page:

  Better isn't always better,
  but better is always different.

If folks want to propose content for the page, I'm willing to
create and maintain it...
