[Python-Dev] Before it was called Stackless....

I found Guido's "todo list" from 1995. 

	Move the C stack out of the way 

It may be possible to implement Python-to-Python function and method
calls without pushing a C stack frame. This has several advantages -- it
could be more efficient, it may be possible to save and restore the
Python stack to enable migrating programs, and it may be possible to
implement multiple threads without OS specific support (the latter is
questionable however, since it would require a solution for all blocking
system calls).
