If the debugger doesn't display the thread name, then what is this
useful for?
It's printed as part of the NSThread description (when you NSLog(),
for instance), and you can ask the debugger to 'po' the current
thread's description:
(gdb) po [NSThread currentThread]
<NSThread: 0x103db0>{name = Loader thread, num = 1}
For a given thread, gdb doesn't know if there's an NSThread associated
with the pthread or not, so it can't really do this automatically.
Until the set-the-pthread-name API comes through, we're labeling what
we can.
