The world isn't CPAN; there may be lots of private code which uses 
'threads' which you won't ever find out about.

More to the point, however, is what does it do _now_, i.e. can you 
currently stringify a thread object at all?  If that concept isn't 
available now, this has nothing do to with 'backwards compatibility' at 
all, since you are introducing new behavior...
