Ok, I will give it a go and try to allow it when they surround with
gil blocks. I would however like to reiterate that it is a
special-case, inconsistent with previous behaviour, and basically
extends the language and won't work for functions that are called and
declared 'with gil'. But it is convenient, so I can't help but like it
at the same time :]
