That's going to be the case because this thread.h is just some toy invention
whereas pthreads is a years-old mature thing that was bred out of real
implementations.

A better way to design a portable threading interface for C would be to take
the subset of POSIX which is matched by <thread.h>, and just refer to the
original document along with the subset.

This way, certain programs with POSIX threads could become ISO C programs
without having to be rewritten.

There are already portable implementations of POSIX threads. If you want POSIX
threads on Win32, you can get it.

Nobody needs new spellings for the same thing.
