src/pmc/parrotrunningthread.pmc -- Represents a running Parrot Thread.
DESCRIPTION
This type represents a running parrot thread.

void init_pmc(PMC *tid)- Create a new running thread referring to the thread with the Thread ID specified in
tid. INTVAL get_integer()- Return the thread ID of this thread.
void set_integer_native(INTVAL new_tid)- Change the thread ID we refer to to
new_tid. - */
METHOD join()- Join the thread, returning whatever its main method returns.
METHOD detach()- Detach the thread so it cannot be joined and will free its resources immediatelly when it exits.
METHOD kill()- Terminate a running thread.
VTABLE void set_integer_native(INTVAL new_tid) {
PMC_int_val(SELF) = new_tid;
}
