While internally Stackless and Greenlets may (or may not) share a lot
with my proposed python-native threads, they differ greatly in their
intent and the resulting interface they expose.  Stackless and
Greenlets are both tools for building an architecture that uses
threads, while my python-native threads IS that resulting
architecture.

For example, with Greenlets you would use the .switch() method of a
specific greenlet instance to switch to it, and with my python-native
threads you would use the global idle() function which would decide
for itself which thread to switch to.
