I was not aware of this function until now. Thank you for pointing me towards it.
But as I can see (after a quick look) the callback will not be scheduled
to run in the context of the exiting thread. But this is a requirement to
be able to free TLS.
This is different to THREAD_DETACH which still is scheduled into
the exiting thread. This might also be the reason why one should call TlsFree
from there.
