In fact, there are whole classes of problems where this isn't
an issue at all. Speaking to the general audience, I'd like to
point out that microthreads are hardly the only use for continuations.
A step-wise cooperative scheduler can make use of these, and since
every python step completes a C extension call, there's no overlap
and therefor no blocking.

While this is certainly obscure, I'll note that it has pragmatic
use in a simulation environment (which is exactly where I use it).
