--- Comment #22 from Carlos O'Donell <carlos at redhat dot com> ---
This issue was raised again recently and I'm not opposed to it, but we would
need to very carefully describe what "tid" means e.g. task id (not thread) and
enhance the documentation to describe which API functions accept tid's.

To be clear the next step is two things:
* Add documentation for gettid, describe what a tid *is*, and it's properties
and the fact that it is specific to linux. Find all other functions that also
accept tid's and enhance their descriptions (or provide stubs) that say they
accept tids on Linux.
* Add the gettid wrapper.
