Aargh! I had an e-mail composed about that right away,
but didn't press send for fear of increasing the noise
level of Python-Dev even more. When you said saving of
state is a PITA, I figured you meant that this wasn't
going to work so easily. (Next time I'll at least send
a private e-mail.)

Should there be Py_BEGIN_AUTO_THREAD_STATE_ENSURE and
Py_END_AUTO_THREAD_STATE_ENSURE macros (analogous to
Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS) as well,
then?
