Why do you say that? It's not a core language matter because the
language doesn't yet talk about threads... That's the whole reason
boost is creating the library! So pretend boost is actually making
the std thread library and make a decision that way. It can easily
be implemented to do something predictable (even if only terminate())
so why not?
