An additional issue is that this could break a lot of extensions and in 
a way that it is not apparent at compile time. This means we may need to 
break all extensions to force extensions authors to check if they are 
thread safe.

I do not like making life hard for out extension community, but if the 
gains are big enough it might be worth it.
