Let me second that... I read the microthread document, and I'm very
impressed indeed.

Apparently one of Guido's doubts about stackless is that it seems
impossible (or merely hard?) to replicate in JPython. Personally I think
it would be a shame if the limitations of one particular Python
implementation imposes restrictions on others. After all, JPython
implemented features that are hard to implement in CPython, so why
should CPython's development be held back because of JPython?

I want stackless in 1.6...
