The new re-entrant API will allow you to create as many states as you wish,
limited only by the amount of memory you have.
Having one state per object is possible, but we did not design the new API
with this in mind. We aimed more at multi-threaded applications.

I wonder why you want to do this. Objects can share the same global and still
not interfere with each other. One way to ensure this is for them to have
different tags.
