I think that will be OK, as it will encourage us to refactor Eric's
branch into two distinct pieces in the meantime: exposing any needed C
API elements that aren't currently visible as
"nominally-private-but-linkable-if-you're-prepared-to-cope-with-potential-instability"
interfaces, and then a pip-installable extension module that adds the
Python level API.

We won't be able to experiment with ideas like removing GIL sharing
between subinterpreters that way, but we'll be able to work on the
semantics of the user facing API design, and enable experimentation
with things like CSP and Actor-based programming backed by stronger
memory separation than is offered by Python threads.

Cheers,
Nick.
