very good, because I think I need this feature!

But playing with the code I think I spotted a bug in the Sequence class.
The Sequence contructor for Collection does not set "size". Thus if I
create my ParallelSequence with a Collection, size is zero, leading to a
division by zero exception.

    public Sequence(Steppable[] steps)
        {
        this.steps = (Steppable[])(steps.clone());
        size = steps.length;
        }
        
    public Sequence(Collection collection)
        {
        steps = new Steppable[collection.size()];
        steps = (Steppable[])(collection.toArray(steps));
        }
