I'm currently working on an example where the rest of the world is
multi-threaded, and wants to call into Mercury in different threads.
So I'm planning on changing how init_thread (which starts new Mercury
engines) and pragma export work, so that when you export Mercury in .par
grades, it will start a new engine if there isn't one already in your
thread.

It's not necessarily relevant to this conversation, but I just thought
I'd mouth off about it for a bit.
