Terminating threads has always been iffy in all languages that use

ways to define a little protocol and API for orderly thread

atShutdown().
Why? Just call delete on the thread object and in destructor do
everything you want to put in atShutdown.
The problem with that is that it scales bad when you have many threads -
the last thread stopped would have to wait for all others to stop.
