Yes, I know variables declared within a function belong to that function and
can't be adressed from the outside but member variables of *objects* can be
adressed from the outside and when sporking the function becomes a object.

With all due respect I do think there are some big questions here about
"what a Shred is". I can execute the following;

------------------
Shred foo[3];

foo[0].exit();
------------------------

This is quite mysterious to me, here a "Shred" (object) that's not a "shred"
(sub-process) can "exit". Those two lines don't generate any errors,
apparently they are fine but I have no idea what they do.

Yours,
Kas.
