What does the ESC do that's relevant to threading?  I mean, not just an 
answer like "deadlock and race detection", but what algorithms does it 
use to accomplish it?  Does the Modula 3 compiler construct the proper 
data structures that could provide the raw data those algorithms would 
need?  How much work would it be to reimplement this from scratch?
