concurrency deterministic and easier to reason about. You (probably) don't have to worry about random context switches
clobbering your data.

Fibers are incredibly lightweight. Each one has its own stack and context, but they don't use OS thread resources. You
can easily create thousands of them without stalling your system.

## A Warning

I had this idea while writing cookbook examples for Affix. I wondered if I could implement a hybrid concurrency model
for Perl from within FFI. This is that unpublished article made into a module. It's fragile. It's dangerous. It's my
attempt at combining cooperative multitasking (green threads or fibers or whatever they're called in the latest edit of
Wikipedia) with a preemptive native thread pool. It's Acme::Parataxis.

This module is experimental and resides in the `Acme::` namespace for a reason. It manually manipulates Perl's
internal stacks and C context. It is very dangerous. It's irresponsible, honestly, that I'm even putting this terrible
idea into the world. Don't use this. Forget you even saw it. Just **reading** this has probably made your projects more
prone to breaking. Reading the package name out loud might cause brain damage to yourself and those within earshot.
