Greenlets refine a concept of Stackless 2.0 which was orthogonal
to the Python implementation in a sense that they did not
conflict at all. This is less efficient than collaborative
task switching, but allows greenlets to exist without any
maintenance.

A Stackless subset based upon Greenlets is in discussion.

Platform independent Pickling support of running tasklets is
almost impossible without support from the Python implementation.
I see this as an entry point for people to try these ideas.
The switching speed is several times slower by principle.
