Well Da_Blitz, a few months ago, there was talk on creating what I believe
Christian told me are "tealets"(I think Armin came up with the term and Maciej 
the concept). This would be a quick way to get the JIT to work with greenlets 
under the hood. This would not be as powerful as if one could get the stackless 
transform to work with the JIT (i.e., no pickling).

I wanted to help and I started to look at how greenlets work. Also at Pycon, 
Christian was gracious in explaining how based Stackless Python works. My own 
knowledge of PyPY is still really sketchy.

Right now my own stackless.py efforts have been in a creating a new concurrency 
construct called "join patterns." 

Cheers,
Andrew
