Actually, I'd prefer to add a RuleSet.clear() method, so you could 
use rules_for(func).clear() in that case, rather than having a 
standalone function.

It also appears to me that RuleSet.__iter__ is broken, in that it 
really should hold the lock for the entire iteration, as it's not 
threadsafe otherwise.  :(  So, certainly the remove() operation 
should be atomic too.
