Title: Thread.3 should advertise Thread package
Type: Bug Version: obsolete: 8.5a2

Description:
The Thread.3 file -- documentation for
routines such as Tcl_MutexLock() etc --
includes notice that the tclThreadTest.c
file includes script-level facilities to
create threads, etc.

The Thread package is far more mature
now than when that documentation was
written.  Shouldn't we advertise that now,
over some hack entrypoints for the
test suite?

Applied with thanks.  I reworked the manual page for better
readability while I was at it; it was a bit much like a list
of functions in random order previously.

Got a patch for this, but SF CVS is
not cooperating at the moment. :(

I agree as well. Actually IMHO the documentation should have
never refered to the test facilities. They are internal, can
change at any time, definitely not public.

I agree.  This is definitely worth changing.
