That's exactly our position: we've never promised it and, unlike std::thread, 
we do not expose the native handle. And yet the native handle is trivially 
easy to get from inside the thread (call pthread_self()) and pthread_exit() 
doesn't even require the handle. So it's entirely within the realm of 
possibility that people expect POSIX semantics to apply. We're wondering how 
much we have to strive to keep that compatibility we had never promised.
