Deleting Threads
----------------

   A thread may be deleted by either returning from the function
specified when it was created, or by explicit deletion. Also, the
implicit thread created by the `call-with-dynamic-root' function may be
deleted by exiting from the function called in the new context.

 - Function: thread-delete #!optional thread
     Mark THREAD (or the current thread), as being deleted. It will not
     be switched to in the future. If the current thread is deleted,
     control will be passed to the next runnable thread. Deleting the
     last runnable thread results forces the containing dynamic root to
     be closed.

 - Function: thread-deleted-p thread
     Returns true if THREAD has been deleted.
