Details

Quarks are smaller than Atoms. We should rename PR*Atomic* to PR*Quarkic*.
Unfortunately, quarks are likely made out of strings, so if we really want to get to the root of things, it should probably be named PR*Stringic* however, I suspect that this has some other issues.
> quarks are likely made out of strings > ... > it should probably be named PR*Stringic* Good point, but do we need to wait until it has been proven? We should be prepared, though. In order to avoid confusion, we should replace all occurrences of "String" in the codebase with "CharacterSequence".
Okay, okay, you've had your chance at humor, time to muon to the next pressing issue: implementing a way to destroy a thread. NSPR should have feature parity with Java, right? The critical lack of PR_DestroyThread must be addressed!

The lack of PR_DestroyThread is intentional. The rationale is explained in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/NSPR's_Position_On_Abrupt_Thread_Termination
Boo, you're no fun. :-) Guess I wasn't over-the-top enough in comment 3 to make clear I was joking.
