It would need a lot of thought and probably a lot of testing. For example the threading might interfere with our callbacks, the objects currently guaranteed to be valid during the callback duration might get deallocated or another similar failure.
If if was implemented, a for loop would block the thread in which it was started. So if you started the for-loop in the world tick hook callback, bad idea. If you started it in the webadmin callback thread, no major problem there, the world goes on, only the webadmin will take ages to respond. It might even be possible to create a separate thread directly from Lua.
