 <b>\*</b>A note about multi.NIL, this should only be used within the hold and hold like methods. thread.hold(), thread.holdFor(), and thread.holdWithin() methods. This is not needed within threaded functions! The reason hold prevents nil and false is because it is testing for a condition so the first argument needs to be non nil nor false! multi.NIL should not be used anywhere else. Sometimes you may need to pass a 'nil' value or return. While you could always return true or something you could use multi.NIL to force a nil value through a hold like method.
