What is a usecase?
Think of a library extending the ODP library. Specifically, I was playing around creating a C++ STL compatible allocator template, whose implementation is based on ODP building blocks. (Well, I assume that most ODP apps would be written in C, and even if written in C++, they'd probably use ODP memory allocation interfaces directly for their specific needs. However such a library *could* allow one to use STL data structures allocated by ODP means). Such a library is unaware of how many threads its user will create, but it needs to initialize some per-thread locals it has. An 'odp_init_local_register' interface would allow one to do so, and it's pretty harmful as it exposes none of ODP's internals. The registered function may use any standard interfaces the ODP allows.
