[cpp-threads] Fixing the thread type

[Ben Hutchings]

As you may know, Pete Becker proposed standardisation of the
Boost.Thread library in N1907.  I know Andrei Alexandrescu has some
serious objections to this library and Kevlin Henney has a much richer
thread library in mind.  However, in the absence of a concrete proposal
from them or a larger group of us (and, I would imagine, implementation
experience) it seems likely to me that something like Boost.Thread will
be standardised.  Therefore I would like to propose, as a fallback, some
cleaning up of the interface described in N1907.  Here's my first draft:
<http://womble.decadentplace.org.uk/c++/std-thread-fix.html>.

Ben.
