I think I'll add $thr->wantarray(), as well. Should it be called
something else?

This would be syntactical sugar for:
my @joinable = grep { $_->is_joinable() } threads->list();
However, I would rather 'enhance' th

I'm planning to add some new methods to the 'threads' module, and I
would like a concensus on the method names:
Method to tell if a thread is still 'running' (i.e., the thread entry

$thr->running()
$thr->isrunning()
$thr->is_running()
