I could not have put it better,  well if instance variables complicate
threaded code, I hope to know why, but I am an eager learner than any global
scope rule of block variables might too, as a matter of fact maybe some
fancy scoping rules might
be helpful, honestly I do not know.
I feel strongly though that this should not be a criterium for the design.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
