Yes, that would be the "right" way. In fact we could revitalise the $sysinfo
bundle to that purpose. Now that I check, there is a much saner way to do
what Marcin needs:
<hansl>
scalar n = $sysinfo.omp_num_threads
</hansl>
Urgh, I'd forgotten about that! Recall also:
print $sysinfo
for a look at what's available.
(I'd say if we reckon a "set" bundle is a worthwhile thing to have
it should be separate from $sysinfo, which is quite focused as it
stands.)
