I meant a run-time switchable abscraction like SvLOCK which
ALWAYS does CALL_FPTR(PL_lockhook)(aTHX_ sv)
And something populates the variable at runtime.
Likewise we could have Perl_MUTEX_LOCK() always
CALL_FPTR(PL_mutexlock)(aTHX_ mutex)
and have a dummy function for non-threads case.
+ve - This makes XS code binary compatible between threads/non-threads.
-ve - extra overhead
