Yes, that's needed and my quick first patch already does that. It's
basically the same behavior as we already have in Cython repository
(using 'with GIL' in the function declaration). Though, it's really a
special case now and just works when 'with GIL' is at the top level of
the function body.

Yep, I also think so if we can implement it properly.
