Trying to do this by override CORE::exit is not a option, as you

So I would favour in extra, cloned global variable that would be
checked by CORE::Exit, which would indicate whether to really
exit(), or do a threads->exit(). And have an easy way to change
the (cloned) setting of this variable with a threads class method,
e.g. thread->exit_exits_thread_only;
You can use CORE::exit if you make sure you set it before you load
the external module.
True, but generally you just "use" code in your program, which means
the code is used by the main thread already, before you start the
thread.
Which is the reason I once wrote Thread::Use.
