Could one add, effectively, a RWLock GIL - one where any number of Ruby interpreter threads can run at once (since they know how to not step on each other's toes), but any C code which tried to "grab the GIL" would run exclusively w.r.t. interpreter threads (and other C code)?

I believe the "guild" proposal makes it such that the global lock becomes guild-specific, which seems similar to what you propose.
