I think the conclusion here is that there's not much enthusiasm for
adding thread-as, and adding a more Lisp-like version like Richard
proposes wouldn't satisfy anybody, I think: People coming from a Lisp
background generally like writing Lisp in the order they're used to, and
people who like the reversed order want something less Lispy.

So I'm closing this bug report.
