IIUC this doesn't restrict a module to be used with only one thread.
It just makes sure that the module can only call back Elisp from the
same thread that called it (and "called it" doesn't mean here just "some
time in the past" but "somewhere up the stack").

This makes sense since an "emacs_env" can only be used during the
current call (it's stack-allocated).
