I've found a need to retrieve a thread id rather than a thread handle on
Windows. There is no documented way to get it from the handle on XP (see
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vcgeneral/thread/89728ee1-d9d8-4cfa-ba91-cfd92f31c208
). Would it make sense to add a get_native_id member function?

Thank you.
