One thing that I think should be done with the native threads is to
provide some sort of abstraction layer so that Ruby2 takes advantage
of OS threads but code remains as portable as possible.  Most
threading systems share a subset of equivalent functionality that, if
adhered to, would allow multithreaded ruby code to be both fast and
portable.  Of course, this doesn't have to be built into ruby.  One
could always write the abstraction layer as a module.
