Looks to be just an "ivar" entry in NSThread. I
think if you want it in posix, you need to use
pthread_getspecific() or something. But it's
nothing like Windows' support of named threads.
(ie, you won't get love from gdb).

I noticed that NSThread now allows setting the
name of a thread for debugging purposes, a long
overdue feature (Win32 has had this for quite
some time).
Is this functionality exposed at the Posix
level? Our current threading code uses pthreads
and I wouldn't want to rewrite it all just for
names on threads unless I have to, but it's
tempting nonetheless
