I really hate that this is the solution that Rust ended up pursuing. There are claims that you can work around TLS by just no using TLS if it is not available, but I have yet to see someone removing TLS and still be able to use a multi-threaded executor.

The real solution without TLS will come, in my understanding, after generators improve. Specifically, they cannot currently take arguments on resume.
