[K42-discussion] [simple]Thread

[Bryan S Rosenburg]

Base K42 thread support, as presented by the Scheduler:: interface, 
involves the Thread class.  The Thread implementation is entwined with the 
DispatcherDefault implementation and really should be completely hidden 
behind the Scheduler interface, but we haven't done a thorough of hiding 
it.  It should be easier than it currently is to build a customized 
dispatcher and thread implementation without changing anything else in the 
system.

simpleThread is a package, built on top of the Scheduler interface, that 
provides somewhat higher-level threading facilities than does the basic 
thread support.  It's dependent on the Scheduler interface and not on the 
underlying thread implementation, I think.

What is the relationship between the Thread and simpleThread classes?
Lots of examples programs use simpleThread, but the dispatcher handles
Thread instances. I can't find anywhere that one class references the
other.
