Re: defer

I added a canCallOS primitive.
defer now only does so if necessary:

        defer { arg delta = 0;
                if (delta == 0 and: {this.canCallOS}) {
                        this.value
                }{
                        AppClock.sched(delta, this)
                }
        }
