Yeah, there’s the GC marker threads, the finalization thread, and the
signal thread (started on the first call to the ‘sigaction’ procedure).
It’s crowded there.
It wonder if Guile should offer a documented way to stop the
finalization thread (as with ‘scm_set_automatic_finalization_enabled’,
but from Scheme) and the signal thread.
