These seem like really good reasons to implement as you suggested in last post, with a static factory that uses a non-public *final* subclass that wires initialValue to supplier call, and not otherwise modifying the ThreadLocal class. It has the added benefit of, by not touching ThreadLocal, guaranteeing that it is time/space-neutral for other existing uses. Which also means that any future time/space improvements in ThreadLocal will not need to be constrained by this change. Jim/Akhil, could you please redo it this way?
redone - http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~akhil/8003246.1/webrev/ Thanks
