I see Eli's point here; I'm wondering Philipp, did you run into a particular
problem your patch is trying to solve, or are you trying to preempt future
problems?


The particular problems I'm trying to solve are:
- With multithreading, the current thread check (that only checks for the main thread) is clearly incorrect and I wanted to fix it.
- I finally wanted to start writing some documentation about the module API. For that, I need to know both its desired and actual behavior, including preconditions, guarantees, and restrictions.
