I'm glad to see some agreement here, but I'm puzzled by the proposal
to to place this in the Runtime class. What's the reasoning for that?
Wouldn't this more naturally be placed in java.lang.Thread?
Also, I don't think this single method needs a JEP, but you're welcome
to do it that way if you really want to.
