Even though it's open source, do you realize that this would only work on the LLVM compiler for the moment ? And the code has to stay portable too, so threads (or blocks or whatever) still need to work on other compilers and operating systems, and double the amount of code needs to be maintained.

I think it's still very, very early for thinking about this. Even Webkit doesn't use it at the moment I think.

This doesn't make any sense. This does not outline a particular improvement request or bug.
