Subject: Re: What would it take to change the behaviour of variable assignment?

Ara: Bah, I knew that someone was going to get confused about that. 
This should be a little less ambiguous:

foo = DataFlow.new

bar = Thread.new(foo, "Monitor Thread") {|params| print params[1] + ":
" + params[0]}
baz = Thread.new(foo, "Sleepy Thread") do |params|
print params[1] + ": Going to sleep."
sleep(3);
params[0] = "Hello World, sorry I'm late"
end


Eric: As I understand it, that might be a little different, although
it's probablly worth looking into.  Would you happen to know what a
good entry point to the documentation is?
