I think it would be difficult to put something like this in JVM TI
given that the use of threads within the JVM are purely an

The names of threads are the normal way to see what "type" of thread
you're dealing with.
Right, JVM TI only deals with "Java threads" (jthread object) and has no
knowledge about other threads. It might be possible to use its extension
mechanism to provide information about other threads but it wouldn't be
interoperable with anything that use jtherad objects.
