Thread::Running has:
   ->running
   ->tojoin
   ->exited  (which I assume is just the negation of ->running)

I did propose ->running, but a few others have responded to a preference
for ->is_running.  Similarly, a couple of up-ticks for is_joinable (but
one down-tick).  So we'll see how the consensus builds.
