Hello,

I have implemented a static_thread_group class which mimics the thread_group 
and allows in addition to join the first one.
The main difference is that that the group is created at construction time. 
There is yet another differences, all the threads are created by the 
static_thread_group.
I have implemented also two functions free join_all and 
join_first_then_interrupt.
One of the advantages is that no extra heap allocation is needed.

I have attached the file and some tests.

I want also to implement a make_static_thread_group, but we need then to 
make static_thread_group movable.

Any thoughts?

Vicente
