Seems matz said it'd be in Rite during RubyConf 2002. See [54881].

Q. Threading models.  Will 2.0 will support plug-in threading models?
A. Rite will be native thread-safe [note: he means multiple isolated
interpreter contexts in the same process, via native threads], partially
using global locks, but user-level [aka green, or platform-neutral]
threads will remain.  2.0 will include native thread support as a
separate module (maybe called 'nativethread').  Native threads by
default aren't really good for Ruby.
