/*
** API for NSPR threads. On some architectures (MAC and WIN16
** notably) pre-emptibility is not guaranteed. Hard priority scheduling
** is not guaranteed, so programming using priority based synchronization
** is a no-no.
**
** NSPR threads are scheduled based loosly on their client set priority.
** In general, a thread of a higher priority has a statistically better
** chance of running relative to threads of lower priority. However,
** NSPR uses multiple strategies to provide execution vehicles for thread
** abstraction of various host platforms. As it turns out, there is little
** NSPR can do to affect the scheduling attributes of "GLOBAL" threads.
** However, a semblance of GLOBAL threads is used to implement "LOCAL"
** threads. An arbitrary number of such LOCAL threads can be assigned to
** a single GLOBAL thread.
**
** For scheduling, NSPR will attempt to run the highest priority LOCAL
** thread associated with a given GLOBAL thread. It is further assumed
** that the host OS will apply some form of "fair" scheduling on the
** GLOBAL threads.
**
** Threads have a "system flag" which when set indicates the thread
** doesn't count for determining when the process should exit (the
** process exits when the last user thread exits).
**
** Threads also have a "scope flag" which controls whether the threads
** are scheduled in the local scope or scheduled by the OS globally. This 
** indicates whether a thread is permanently bound to a native OS thread. 
** An unbound thread competes for scheduling resources in the same process.
**
** Another flag is "state flag" which control whether the thread is joinable.
** It allows other threads to wait for the created thread to reach completion.
**
** Threads can have "per-thread-data" attached to them. Each thread has a
** per-thread error number and error string which are updated when NSPR
** operations fail.
