Hi,
Admittedly a minor nit, but why use the name `thread-alive-p'
instead of `thread-live-p' in the
scratch/list-thread branch?
This would make it similiar to `process-live-p',
`buffer-live-p', `window-live-p' etc for threead
objects.
Thanks.

To keep the coder on their toes,

Just thoughtlessness on my part, back when.

There are a few *-alive-p functions as well. I think if I had thought
of it I would have chosen thread-live-p though.
I tend to doubt it is worth switching, but I wouldn't oppose it.

I do prefer live-p, but I'm not bothered-p either.

If nobody objects next days, I'll change the name. It's not too late, I
believe.
Best regards, Michael.

It's fine with me to rename, but since we already released Emacs 26.1
with this API, we will need to leave behind an obsolete alias.
Thanks.

Will do. For the emacs-26 branch, or master? I'd prefer the former, in
order not to see too much code in the wild with the obsolete name.

Best regards, Michael.

It could go to emacs-26, but there we should not announce
thread-alive-p obsolete yet, it should be obsoleted on master, I
think.
