construct for fine-grained parallelism in PLT. Roughly speaking, a<br>
programmer passes a thunk to 'future' and it gets run in parallel.<br>
That "roughly" holds a few gotchas, partly because we're just getting<br>
started and partly due to the technique we're using. See the<br>
documentation for more details:<br>
