Subject: [ruby-core:37127] Re: [Ruby 1.9-Feature#4328][Open] export rb_thread_call_with_gvl()

Hi,

As you can read in comment, this API is difficult to use.  There are
some assumptions for caller.  I'm not sure that these assumptions are
reasonable or not.  This is why we don't put into public API.

BTW, the naming "_with_gvl" is reasonable for native English speakers?
