I doubt that we can easily have a million of threads, so
even the microthread name is a bit optimistic.
MilliThreading is more accurate. Esspecially since a
typical thread takes 1 MB of memory, and tasklets use
a thousandth of that.

Ok, here what "Stackless" really means:
I didn't earn haystacks of money with it yet.
When that happens, I might rename it :)
Pythonlet -- yes, thousands of little snakelets
squirreling around me -- huh! I need a nap
