[Python-Dev] should a module's thread safety be documented?

I think that's going to be a significant undertaking, requiring examination
of a lot of Python and C code.  I'd rather approach it incrementally, which
was why I suggested the LaTeX macros.  As modules are determined to be safe
or unsafe, the appropriate safety macro could just be inserted into the
correct lib*.tex file.  It would (in my mind) expand to a stock bit of text
inserted at a standard place in the file.
