This is an option of course. But in my case I'm writing a graphical 
debugger and I want to display the threads of the debugged application 
with their names. By definition I have no control over the name of the 
local variable used by the author of the program to assign a label to 
the thread. Hence the idea of having an "official" way of naimng threads.
