/* Interface for threads.

   A module that plans to do a blocking system call (or something else
   that lasts a long time and doesn't touch Python data) can allow other
   threads to run as follows:

	...preparations here...
	BGN_SAVE
	...blocking system call here...
	END_SAVE
	...interpretr result here...

   The BGN_SAVE/END_SAVE pair expands to a {}-surrounded block.
   To leave the block in the middle (e.g., with return), you must insert
   a line containing RET_SAVE before the return, e.g.

	if (...premature_exit...) {
		RET_SAVE
		err_errno(IOError);
		return NULL;
	}

   An alternative is:

	RET_SAVE
	if (...premature_exit...) {
		err_errno(IOError);
		return NULL;
	}
	RES_SAVE

   For convenience, that the value of 'errno' is restored across
   END_SAVE and RET_SAVE.

   WARNING: NEVER NEST CALLS TO BGN_SAVE AND END_SAVE!!!

   The function init_save_thread() should be called only from
   initthread() in "threadmodule.c".

   Note that not yet all candidates have been converted to use this
   mechanism!
