Sounds like a good idea to me.
Have you ever considered to allow a "with gil:" statement? It seems this
could be implemented using the simplified GIL API, i.e. the same way
ctypes synchronizes callbacks to Python. Usecases would e.g. be
computational code that sometimes needs to touch Python objects. E.g.
append something to a list, slice a NumPy array, unbox a buffer into
local scope, etc. A "with gil" statement could allow us to grab the GIL
back for that.
