Sigh. It already does. See my TThreadList.Add example.
This example shows that it does not make sense.

(Supposedly) TThreadList.Add is "separate-instance-thread safe" (each thread can create 
an instance and use the "Add" procedure without risking a conflict).

TThreadList.Add is not "cross-instance-thread safe" (multiple threads using the same 
instance's "Add" procedure will result in erroneous behavior).

Simply stating that TThreadList.Add is "not thread save" (which of course is 
perfectly correct) would prevent using a TThreadList as a data store e.g. in a thread 
class that itself is instantiated multiple times. There using TThreadList would be 
overkill.
