This is more of a question first as to why it was decided to have a
joining_thread
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0206r1.html> and
no detaching_thread?

Or some kind of a smart thread that takes a policy parameter to decide
whether to detach or join (dj_thread? :-)) - or, for that matter, why not
enhance the existing std::thread with an additional parameter to either
terminate, join or detach, and default to terminate for backward
compatibility, etc.?

Thanks in advance for any clarification.
