This actually was on the wishlist ages ago, ca 1998 or so I think,
probably connected with eCos plans. Even a target that didn't
support named threads could still make use of the generic capability,
for instance via setup scripts - break at a place known unique to a
particular thread, get tid, name it, then user and other scripts can
reliably use the name.
