Comment (by anonymous):

 Sorry, I didn't notice it was thread local. As each thread has its own
 stack I guess the address of &id is guaranteed to be local.

 Perhaps, the "Ugh." comment is misleading then. It could just say 'Take
 address of location on the thread's stack that will be unique per thread".

 BTW, thanks for a great library!
