RE: threads module falsely assumes that its BOOT section is executed only once per process

I don't think you need an "explicit" per-interpreter variable.
There is nothing that prevents you from using 2 MY_CXT structures in
the module, one that is per-interpreter (reallocated in CLONE)
and one that will be global to the pool.  The global one would need
to store its tid in the structure during BOOT time so that the same
interpreter can tear it down.

Well, the MY_CXT macro may not support this directly, but they are
just syntactic sugar around storing values in the PL_modglobal hash
to avoid the hash access if you compile without MULTIPLICITY.
