By "stackless features" do you mean just Stackless Python? Or does this 
limitation apply to any non-blocking system like gevent?

Everything works, but every instruction that can cause a switch (so
pretty much using *any* of stackless features) will disable jitting
for this loop. this is unideal, and I don't quite recall the exact
reasons why, other than "more work is needed". Armin, can you
elaborate?
