Why can't the the last line of the "Run" function do "delete this" & 
and the thread class's destructor kill the native thread ?
Also the thread class should enforce heap-only allocation to
prevent attempts to "delete" stack-allocated objects.

I think this method can be used to build Java-like thread objects.
