Process-related block methods

The following instance methods pertain to process-related blocks:

critical

Execute the zero-argument block under async message disabled state. If the interrupts are being disabled from a previously enabled state, then we insure they are re-enabled after evaluating the block. If the state was already disabled, we only have to evaluate the block.

fork

Creates and schedules a new process to evaluate the receiver block, using the priority of the activeProcess (Processor activePriority).

forkAt:

Creates and schedules a new process to evaluate the receiver block, at the specified priority.

newProcess

Creates a new process to evaluate the receiver block, using the priority of the activeProcess, and places it in suspended state. The new process is scheduled by sending it the resume message.

newProcessWith:

Creates a new process to evaluate the receiver block with the specified arguments, using the current priority, and places it in suspended state. The new process is scheduled by sending it the resume message.
