Greetings. Does anyone know of a CLOS-based abstraction for Common Lisp
processes (threads)? Ideally, such a library would also include classes for
various lock types, semaphores, etc.

I'm currently developing with Allegro Common Lisp 5.0 (Intel Linux),
so at a minimum such a library must support this platform. I realize I could
"roll my own" with relative ease, but I suspect something of quality already
exists. Thanks much.

Regards,
