There is also preliminary support for ECL, but threads seem to be
buggy in versions 9.4.0 and 9.4.1
Anyone can provide links to documentation on CLISP threads?

Did you check trivial-timeout[1] project?

AFAIK, CLISP doesn't support threading.

Yes. There have been a handful of similar things over the years.
Mine is more centered on a clear specification: better nomenclature
and more clearly stated behavior.
In fact, it could be argued it is FUNDAMENTALLY a specification
(the implementation being only one among many possible ones).

I have also plans to design more ambitious things like with-max-heap-
size

There is now a compilation option to support them. That is why I was
asking.
Thanks.

The best placed to give those links are clisp itself, using DESCRIBE.

Actually, if you configure correctly clisp, it will ask your browser
to go to the documentation page automatically.


    C/USER[16]> (describe 'cl:make-random-state)

    MAKE-RANDOM-STATE is the symbol MAKE-RANDOM-STATE, lies in #<PACKAGE COMMON-LISP>, is accessible in 82 packages ...

Nice utility, it would be really useful with Perforce for example :)

(And I wish I had that one that easy to use in C++)

Thanks!
