/**
 * @fileoverview Simple threading API
 *
 * This API is supported on all six operating systems. We have this
 * because the POSIX threads API is positively enormous. We currently
 * only implement a small subset of POSIX threads, e.g. mutexes. So
 * until we can implement all of POSIX threads, this API is great. If we
 * consider that the classic forking concurrency library consists of a
 * single function, it's a shame POSIX didn't define threads in the past
 * to just be this. Since create/join/atomics is really all we need.
 *
 * Your spawn library abstracts clone() which also works on all
 * platforms; however our implementation of clone() is significantly
 * complicated so we strongly recommend always favoring this API.
