Yes, it is.  Look at the implementation:  The streams are
thread-specific, assuming the current thread is a Future.
And of course you really want to run each interpreter in
its own thread.  (It could be extended to be a thread-local
variable, for arbitrary threads, not just Future instances,
like we now do for fluid bindings.)

Take a look at how (scheme-window) is imlemented in GuiConsole.
