As far as I know, these aren't used and I think have never been used.

I'm not sure how I would go about exposing this to users.  The most
natural way might be to intercept calls to pthread_*specific.  Maybe a
couple of new convenience functions would be good though, and less
magical.

I guess this would primarily be useful for core file debugging?
Assuming inferior calls to pthread_*specific already work -- I haven't
tried.

thanks,
