I'm considering a one line addition to the threads module to overload
the string value of a thread to return its ID:
'""' => sub { shift->tid() }
Since thread IDs are unique, thread objects could be used as hash keys
in a more rational way:
Better would be letting the stringified object still look like a
stringified object. Perhaps you add your info on the end like C<<
',tid=' . $obj->tid >>. I get a lot of mileage out of noticing what
things look like when printed. It's unusual when an object doesn't
stringify to something to that looks like an object.
