I tend to agree -- but it's complicated by the fact that C11 thread
support is an optional feature.  I'm disappointed by the lack of support
in glibc.  (My disappointment is of course tempered by the fact that
glibc is free and I haven't contributed to the work of implementing it.)

I've seen third-party libraries that at least attempt to support C11
threads, probably on top of pthreads.
