Tcl provides no built-in commands for scripts to use to create,
manage, or join threads, nor any script-level access to mutex or
condition variables. It provides such facilities only via C
interfaces, and leaves it up to packages to expose these matters to
the script level. One such package is the \fBThread\fR package.
