Any support for SDL_CreateThread?

Would PySDL2 support SDL_CreateThread()?

@zeroxer Sorry for the slow reply, I've been busy over the holiday! Looking at the pysdl2 source the function isn't currently wrapped (nothing from the SDL_thread.h header has Python bindings).

It would be easy enough to add that function, but I honestly have no clue how it would behave given Python's threading model (would need thorough testing). What are you hoping to do with SDL_CreateThread that you couldn't with Python's multithreading/multiprocessing functions? If you have a specific simple use-case I could try it out.

Shared objects between contexts doesn't seem to work with Python threads, so I wanted to try the SDL thread management system.
