Looks good.

I don’t feel strongly either way.  It just struck me as a little odd to have 
the mix in close proximity,
especially since I think consistently using either one might work in this 
function.  But being consistent
about make_local usage has something to be said for it too.

Yeah, it’s not really obvious whether to use THREAD or thread in some cases.
But I agree that addressing any inconsistencies there is mostly out of scope for
this change.
