There might be a terminology problem here. RCU is read-copy-update,
right? I fail to see the copy (copy data structure to be modified)
and update (replace original pointer with pointer to copy) part.
Do this play a role in that scheme? If so, what specific structure
is copied for, say, a list or a dict?

This confusion makes it very difficult for me to understand your
proposal, so I can't comment much on it. If you think it could work,
just go ahead and create an implementation.
