There's one thing that bothers me about this: what exactly is "the
call stack"? Let me clarify: what happens when you have threads.
Either machine-level threads and stackless threads confuse the issues
here, not to talk about stackless continuations. Can you add a few
words to the PEP about dealing with those?
