I'm sorry, I'll say that again. :-)
I meant to say "you wouldn't be able to use the default thread pool if
you wanted to use threads with some restrictions (e.g those that
couldn't
invoke System.exit()).
Can you explain in a little more detail as to what the compatibility
issues are with preventing threads in thread pools from calling
System.exit?
AFAIU, I believe the issue is that threads in the default pool are
created early, so they don't see the scope local which overrides the
semantics of System.exit.
Only threads created _after_ the scope local is set would see the
overridden/restricted semantics.
