I'm inclined to view this as "unsupported".  I'd rather go to a model where
we allow very long-running requests (e.g. by supporting larger thread and
database pools) are supported.

It is theoretically possible to support creating worker threads from Zope
requests, but this brings in a lot of *extremely* advanced and subtle issues
that I don't want to support.
