Anyone think that having Thread contain - and specifically the point print()
and toString() methods represent - a thread "name"?

I'm not sure how this would be exactly, but it would be a nice debugging helper. Naturally one would still be able to create one without a name.

Sounds like an excellent idea.  Too bad it won't show up in the debugger because the OS won't know about the thread name.

Perhaps we could initialize a table with the thread ids and names, and the debugger could inspect it somehow.
