The patch looks good to me (apart from some minor spaces-vs-tabs issues), but
it needs some unit tests.

Also, as far as I can see, this would suffer from the same kinds of problems
that the Glib::Idle approach has when used by Perl code running in different
threads: If you call $context->invoke() from some thread on a context not
attached to that thread, then gperl_main_context_invoke_callback() will access
SV* pointers from the calling thread in the context's thread, i.e. it will try
to use SV* pointers belonging to one Perl interpreter instance with another
Perl interpreter instance.  This is unreliable.  This is not an argument
against the patch, however.
