What's the plan for multithreading? Another giant lock or real OS threads?

GNU Emacs is moving towards proper OS threads, I believe. We will inherit that functionality, though it will gain more compile-time guarantees about avoiding crashes/races as that part of the codebase moves to Rust.

@NightMachinary Good that you raised this issue.

Designing with future expansion towards a multi-threading model would avoid architectural changes down the line.
