My point is that if the current working directory (per process of per
thread) can currently only be changed for single-threaded programs,
SRFI 170 should provide some mechanism for multi-threaded programs as
well. I don't mind if it is at a higher abstraction (at the thread
level, for example) than in POSIX (although it is probably easier to
first provide the raw C interface first and then some sophisticated
abstraction on top of it).
