Neal,

FYI, I've just had a go at implementing your 'for eachConcurrently' API with support for nonlocal transfers, and although task cancellation and exception handling present their usual 'challenges', handling nonlocal transfers across threads turned out to be remarkably easy using UnmatchedTransfer :) Nice work! Regards, Mark
