But Dave has pointed out that this allows some things that are not
possible with functions triggering other processes, or with tasks.
In particular, it allows creating a thread whose parent is a
variable initialization.  This in turn means it has allowed root
threads to be created in a package, which could not happen before.

I don't know what specific problems Dave is concerned this will cause.
