Why? Without some language support, you can't do anything in a
multithreaded environment; windowing support, on the other hand,
works very well as a third party add-in. (I too would prefer to
see it as part of the standard, but it just isn't going to
happen: it's far too complicated an issue, with too many parties
having too much invested in their propriatory systems. And
unlike threading, we can live without it.)
