 * level threads which are then associated with the class transparently.
 * This allows Thread classes to be derived without needing to know how
 * the OS implements threads. You should ensure that any sections of code
 * that use threads are threadsafe and do not interact with any other
 * parts of the code which are NOT known threadsafe! If you really MUST
 * access non-threadsafe code from a Thread, use the Mutex class to wrap
 * access to the code carefully.
