/**
* Passing this flag to rb_nogvl() prevents it from checking interrupts.
* Interrupts can impact your program negatively. For instance consider
* following callback function:
*
* ```CXX
* static inline int fd; // set elsewhere.
* static inline auto callback(auto buf) {
* auto tmp = ruby_xmalloc(BUFSIZ);
* auto ret = ruby_xmalloc(sizeof(ssize_t)); // (a)
* auto n = read(fd, tmp, BUFSIZ); // (b)
* memcpy(buf, tmp, n); // (c)
* memcpy(ret, n, sizeof(n));
* ruby_xfree(tmp);
* return ret;
* }
* ```
*
* Here, if it gets interrupted at (a) or (b), `read(2)` is cancelled and this
* function leaks memory (which is not a good thing of course, but...). But if
* it gets interrupted at (c), where `read(2)` is already done, interruption is
* way more catastrophic because what was read gets lost. To reroute this kind
* of problem you should set this flag. And check interrupts elsewhere at your
* own risk.

* other ways if any. We lack experiences to use this API. If

* @warning Releasing and re-acquiring the GVL are expensive operations.
* For a short-running `func`, it might be faster to just call
* `func` with blocking everything else. Be sure to benchmark
* your code to see if it is actually worth releasing the GVL.
