OK.  Now, coinsider these two cases (for, say, a webserver):

1. I create a new thread to handle each new request.
2. I optimize (1) by using a thread pool to minimize thread creation.

I want those two to behave identically (other than performance). To acheive 
that, I need to be able to kill all the ThreadLocals when putting the 
Threads back into the pool for later reuse.  Otherwise

A. The ThreadLocals for threads in the pool cause packratting.
B. A reused thread contains context created during its previous use.  This 
may be context that the user correspnding to the request currently being 
handled by the thread should not be able to see.
