Well, not "standard".  At least not yet, and I'd expect the final 
version excepted by the standard (if one is) to be at least somewhat 
different from what we have today.  But at least we're trying :).

No, there's no MacOS native thread support.  I don't know native 
MacOS threads, and don't have access to a Mac to do the development 
even if I did.  However, I'd truly love for someone to volunteer to 
port this to MacOS!  I'm readily available for consultation on the 
design and requirements of a Mac implementation for anyone willing to 
put forth this effort.
