What happens in the following circumstance:

* Thread 1 calls `Kernel#pp`, defined in prelude, which requires 'pp'.
* During requiring of pp:

~~~
  undef pp if method_defined?(:pp)
  # Thread switch here
  def pp(*objs)
~~~

* Thread 2 calls `Kernel#pp` during thread switch

Unless the thread switch is completely blocked during the execution of required code, it seems like this is still not thread safe.
