Your ideal world seems to be based on an editor design that is very
different from what Emacs is.  The absolute majority of objects which
an average Lisp program manipulates are globally visible -- buffers,
windows, frames, global variables, the obarray, etc., and doing that
in non-blocking ways is not really trivial.
