Hi Simon,
Hi Joel,
I didn't test, but this looks good to me. Two small comments below.
Thanks for the review!

This comment about the function that adds threads talks about things
to be
deleted.
Indeed. Fixed in the attached version.

Just a nit: in this case, where there are very few callers to update,
I
would opt for not using a default parameter value. It's probably just
a
personal preference, but I find it clearer to have the explicit value
at the
call site.
It wasn't really the number of callers to update that prompted me to
use a default value, but rather the fact that, in the normal case,
that parameter is really redundant, at least as far as the reader's
understanding is concerned. This is related a bit to the fact that
I am partial to the option of being able to name parameters at the
point call, something that C++ doesn't support. This would have been
particularly useful in this case here, because I've always found
"true" or "false" litteral constants in function calls like that
to be rather mysterious. So much so that I felt I needed to add
a comment to name them that way. Since it felt like providing it
at the point of call when false was redundant, I decided against
providing its value.
The attached patch follows your suggestion nonetheless. I worked
around my concern the same way I did when passing the new parameter
as true, and so this is good for me.
