Behavior of threads

[uniment]

@carstenbauer

Quite generally, threadid() is a footgun. Why? Because, as I indicated in my previous post, the default macros create non-sticky tasks, so the return value of threadid() can vary over the course of executing a piece of code. Fundamentally, this is because Julia offers task-based multithreading. The central concept is a task, not a thread.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but would it make sense to have a taskid()?
