Currently, the "global interpreter lock" entry in the glossary mentions
that `-X gil 0` can be used to disable the GIL. However, this is
invalid; the correct usage should be `-X gil=0` [^1].
$ python -X gil 0 -c 'print("hello, world")'
Fatal Python error: config_read_gil: PYTHON_GIL / -X gil must be "0" or "1"
Python runtime state: preinitialized
$ python -X gil=0 -c 'print("hello, world")'
hello, world
