One reason for the different answers to this question is that you seem to be 
attributing costs where there may be none, without bothering to go into 
specifics so that your claims can be either challenged or acknowledged and 
justified.

If you list specific concerns with the idea of basing <thread> on 
<pthread.h>, we'll be able to stick to technicalities and move away from 
what seems to have become a flame war - and maybe even produce something 
useful as a result of the discussion.
