Therefore I think both a spinlock and a gillock should be added to the
threading module. These are synchronization methods that should be
available.
Avtually, a spinlock would probably not even be feasible in Python: The
GIL is a mutex, and we would have to give it up before we could spin on
the lock, and reacquire afterwards. So the cost of a kernel mutex
object is still there. The gillock is possibly the only way of getting
a fast lock object in Python.
