I have thought about such stuff, but ot implemented
(because there was no real need for it).

Since I found OCamlP3l, I'm not shure if implementing
such stuff would make sense, because using OCamlP3l
might be the right way.

  OCamlP3l: http://camlp3l.inria.fr/eng.htm

I didn't tried it so far.

If people already have done (or will do now),
I would be interested in feedback.

Ciao,
   Oliver

P.S.: Why did you  write "Faking concurrency"?
      If the processes are running on a multi-core/multi-processor
      machine, using processes can achieve paralellism.
