: __isthreaded is clearly (by its name) a predicate, comparing it

: goes.

: We already have a policy (unwritten as far as I know) of using explicit

: have one of *not* using explicit comparisons for those that are? And
: document both cases in style(9)?
True, but very Brucian in the nature of the comment: I didn't change
this in existing code. :-)
I'll take a look at this sort of thing as well.
