Actually, yielding in QUIT will take a lot of work. It's definitely not
"cooperative" seen from Elisp's point of view (where QUIT can be run
implicitly all over the place).
By cooperative thread model, I mean that we can switch context either
when we already do (i.e. when waiting for user/process/network input),
or when running some new `yield' Elisp function.

As written above (and earlier as well), Emacs will switch threads when
waiting for network input.
