[Python-ideas] concurrency-local namespaces

[Guido van Rossum]

When you do, watch out for some edge cases that may be different from the
way threads work. In particular, I can't remember whether it may be
possible that the current task before and after `yield from` differs, in
case you have multiple event loops. At least the code that manages the data
structure used by current_task() allows this possibility.
