    /*
      The PyThreadState->cframe pointer usually points to memory on
      the stack, alloceted in a call into PyEval_EvalFrameDefault.
 
      Initially, before any evaluation begins, it points to the
      initial PyThreadState object's ``root_cframe`` object, which is
      statically allocated for the lifetime of the thread.
 
      A greenlet can last for longer than a call to
      PyEval_EvalFrameDefault, so we can't set its ``cframe`` pointer
      to be the current ``PyThreadState->cframe``; nor could we use
      one from the greenlet parent for the same reason. Yet a further
      no: we can't allocate one scoped to the greenlet and then
      destroy it when the greenlet is deallocated, because inside the
      interpreter the _PyCFrame objects form a linked list, and that too
      can result in accessing memory beyond its dynamic lifetime (if
      the greenlet doesn't actually finish before it dies, its entry
      could still be in the list).
 
      Using the ``root_cframe`` is problematic, though, because its
      members are never modified by the interpreter and are set to 0,
      meaning that its ``use_tracing`` flag is never updated. We don't
      want to modify that value in the ``root_cframe`` ourself: it
      *shouldn't* matter much because we should probably never get
      back to the point where that's the only cframe on the stack;
      even if it did matter, the major consequence of an incorrect
      value for ``use_tracing`` is that if its true the interpreter
      does some extra work --- however, it's just good code hygiene.
 
      Our solution: before a greenlet runs, after its initial
      creation, it uses the ``root_cframe`` just to have something to
      put there. However, once the greenlet is actually switched to
      for the first time, ``g_initialstub`` (which doesn't actually
      "return" while the greenlet is running) stores a new _PyCFrame on
      its local stack, and copies the appropriate values from the
      currently running _PyCFrame; this is then made the _PyCFrame for the
      newly-minted greenlet. ``g_initialstub`` then proceeds to call
      ``glet.run()``, which results in ``PyEval_...`` adding the
      _PyCFrame to the list. Switches continue as normal. Finally, when
      the greenlet finishes, the call to ``glet.run()`` returns and
      the _PyCFrame is taken out of the linked list and the stack value
      is now unused and free to expire.
 
      XXX: I think we can do better. If we're deallocing in the same
      thread, can't we traverse the list and unlink our frame?
      Can we just keep a reference to the thread state in case we
      dealloc in another thread? (Is that even possible if we're still
      running and haven't returned from g_initialstub?)
