I fully support this. Regarding Object pascal I am dreaming about 
"thread events" since many years. (This would need no new keyword and 
only a very small addition to the compiler. You might find posts on this 
in the backlog of this forum.) I did provide a concept, but had not the 
spare time to try to implement it.

The said "future" and "asnc" concept that Oxygen adopted from .NET seems 
very promising, and I'm sure that it can be implemented in the RTL in 
native code without thinking about a .NET framework.
