    This release is driven by wendelin.core v2 needs with one of the changes
    being that now most of the library was moved into nogil code and can be
    used fully from inside nogil world(*). Python modules are now just wrappers
    of their nogil counterparts. The way for Python and nogil worlds to
    communicate is also provided.
    
    The move to nogil required many other enhancements along the way. Please
    see CHANGELOG for overview.
    
    The move to nogil brought some speedup automatically.
    Below are benchmark results of this release compared to pygolang v0.0.4
    (1573d101) for python-level benchmarks (we have only those at present):

    workgroup_* changes for thread runtime is the speedup I am talking about.
    defer/func_call slowdown is due to added exception chaining. We did not
    optimize Python-level defer yet, and if/when that would be needed, it should
    be possible to optimize by moving pydefer implementation into Cython.
    
    (*) go and channels were moved into nogil world in Pygolang v0.0.3 +
    v0.0.4 . Now it is the rest of the library that was moved with packages
    like context, time, sync etc.
    
    wendelin.core v2 needs nogil to run pinner thread on client side to
    support isolation property in cooperation with wcfs: since there is a
    `client -> wcfs -> pinner` loop:
    
          - - - - - -
         |           |
            pinner <------.
         |           |   wcfs
            client -------^
         |           |
          - - - - - -
         client process
    
    the pinner thread would deadlock if it tries to take the GIL because
    client thread can be holding GIL already while accessing wcfs-mmaped
    memory (think doing e.g. `x = A[i]` in Python).
