That may be true for your specific case. Though, it is not true in general.
One could also potentially delete the interpreter without removing the
thread. For example, one may be using a pool of Java threads to do some
work. One thread is retrieved, creates a Tcl interp, do some work, delete
the interp, goes back into the thread pool. The thread itself is never
deleted, only the resources used by the thread.
TclBlend allows a Tcl program to use Java. It also needs to work the other
direction, which is allowing a Java program to use Tcl.
