It is indeed hard to design this API in a way that is compatible with
Java 8 and earlier versions.
Providing only a findThreads() method which takes a ThreadPredicate will
not have much benefit on its own. Would we then also have to provide a
set of default predicate implementations offering the functionality that
was addressed in the original proposal?
