Most of my work on a generic approach has concentrated on the primitive 
level, but ideally consideration (if not inclusion) of higher-level 
facilities should be included, giving us a three-level proposal: memory 
model, library primitives, higher-level library facilities.

Perhaps this is something we could discuss at OOPSLA? There might be 
some time then to mull over these foolish things :-)
