Is it not weird that Thread will leave Stop() with stopping_ set to true?

[gab, 2016/07/26 20:25:33]

For non-joinable threads? I don't think so, attempting to confirm that they have
stopped is the opposite of the intent of a non-joinable thread (plus only
ThreadMain would know when to set |stopping_| but it isn't protected by a lock
so it can only be set on the owning sequence (it's not *impossible* to do a
TaskRunner dance here to set this bit when done but I really don't think it's
necessary).
