    That's not really possible. We can't rely on the visibility of symbol
    bindings due to lazy binding and hidden visibility. Registration of
    intent by other means will not work because if it is done from user
    code, some other library may have already launched a thread at this point.

    (It's also a moot point if we want to use restartable sequences in glibc
    itself.)

    Thanks,
    Florian
