30    ** New functions 'all-threads' and 'current-thread'.

32    ** Signals and system asyncs work better with threads.
33    
34    The function 'sigaction' now takes a fourth, optional, argument that
35    specifies the thread that the handler should run in.  When the
36    argument is omitted, the handler will run in the thread that called
37    'sigaction'.
38    
39    Likewise, 'system-async-mark' takes a second, optional, argument that
40    specifies the thread that the async should run in.  When it is
41    omitted, the async will run in the thread that called
42    'system-async-mark'.
43    
44    C code can use the new functions scm_sigaction_for_thread and
45    scm_system_async_mark_for_thread to pass the new thread argument.
46    
47    ** The function 'system-async' is deprecated.
48    
49    You can now pass any zero-argument procedure to 'system-async-mark'.
50    The function 'system-async' will just return its argument unchanged
51    now.
52    
53  ** New function 'unsetenv'.  ** New function 'unsetenv'.
