        Last time I checked, it wasn't, but this might have changed. However,
getting multithreading "for free" is a bit optimistic. You get multithreading
at the langage level, yes. But that's probably not the most difficult thing to
achieve. The major part of the work is properly designing the way you'll use
multithreading: how many threads ? To do what ? Threads for user commands ?
and so on, with all the non obvious problems it brings, like synchronisation,
mutual exclusion, resources protection etc.
