In some more curious situations, it may be desirable to run some threads in the backend for managing multiple I/O jobs.

Current gating aspects:

Threads cannot have access to the database (should be easy with existing protections)
Parts of pg-python rely on global state, Py_ALLOCATE_OWNER()
Thread finalization on_proc_exit?
Other lower level problems/threads in the backend are frickin' scary?

Another option is to just use event driven async systems.
