I think it's a nice-to-have feature, but also pie-in-the-sky...
I hope I'm wrong; but I don't think it's possible to implement without
completely reworking the VM (but we'd be able to drop the GVL while
we're at it, too, but we'd also need to reimplement the C API layer
for compatibility...)

Probably too much for a summer project...
