Are there public records of that? As I remember it, Christian never
actually submitted a patch for inclusion (at least not in public;
he may have approached Guido in private). The oldest discussion
I could find quickly is from August 2000 (Python 2.0 and Stackless);
there, it was Ben Wolfson who asked whether it could be integrated.
I also found a message where I said that it couldn't be integrated
as-is, for a number of reasons I listed; I didn't mean to imply
that it can never be integrated.

Regards,
Martin
