+Concurrent Execution
+********************

+The modules described in this chapter provide support for concurrent
+execution of code. The appropriate choice of tool will depend on the
+task to be executed (CPU bound vs IO bound) and preferred style of
+development (event driven cooperative multitasking vs preemptive
+multitasking) Here's an overview:
