So it seems.

I was thinking that we could choose the other direction and simplify the 
tss_hooks interface by removing on_process_* and on_thread_enter (I have a 
call_once in it but it's actually redundant.)

But I don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other. So let's do 
it this way: I'll commit my replacement as-is and you'll add the TlsFree in 
on_process_exit if you wish. :-)
