Is it possible that, rather than void, this could return... say, the
threadId? Having the option to keep track of the threads you've started in
this manner would be useful if, for example, you want to remove them (because
removing a thread requires that threadId). The alternative is making a
comparable removeOldThread() method to complete the API, but I'm sort of up in
the air on whether it would be a good idea to grab a random thread and tell it
to end in current JMeter (it makes perfect sense in a hypothetical future
dispatch-oriented design, though).
