Sure, that is one possibility.  If it doesn't make it into the library, then I am hoping it will serve as a clear example to help make discussion more concrete and productive: I would like to understand the right way to, for example, utilize all four CPU's on a multiprocessor machine running DBUS type computation servers (for grid-type scientific application with lots of CPU).  Right now I am trying to get a grasp on what possibilities exist.  This scope thing is the only generic solution I could think of, and it doesn't seem that generic. So I would like to stimulate more discussion and solutions to the problem but not necessarily fix on this one so much as analyze it.
