Lua 4.1 will have full support for co-routines (and multi-threads)
implemented *outside* Lua. That means multiple stacks sharing the same
global environment plus macros to allow lock/unlock accesses to the state.
On most machines, some tricks with setjmp/longjmp or a few lines of
assembler, in a library outside Lua, will be enough to implement
co-routines.
But Lua 4.1 will not be "stackless"; that would compromise its neat
integration with C.
