Accessing the thread id is often used in profiling and debugging, as well as some approaches for sound single-threaded access to data. Currently the only way to access the thread id is by first obtaining a handle to the current thread. While this is not exactly slow, it does require an atomic inc-ref and dec-ref operation, as well as the injection of `Thread`'s drop code into the caller. This publicly exposes the existing fast-path for accessing the current thread id.

Accessing the thread id is often used in profiling and debugging, as well as some approaches for sound single-threaded access to shared data.

Note: I have no idea how these kinds of proposals usually go, but an acp felt overkill for a tiny code change so here we are :)
