That doesn't necessarily mean ThreadLocal doesn't make
sense--ThreadLocal basically degenerates into a static reference in
the case of a single-threaded app.  Perhaps, for the sake of code
reusability, ThreadLocal should eventually be included.  There would
have to be a good argument for it, though, and none was provided.

Anyone arguing for adding ThreadLocal would probably have to overcome
the fact that adding ThreadLocal might confuse developers into
thinking that threading is supported in GWT.  Threading will not be
supported in GWT for a long time to come simply because the majors
browsers won't support threaded Javascript for a long time to come.
The GWT developers have an aversion to confusing GWT users and rightly
so, I think.
