Re: [boost] "joinable"

Seems to me that if we have "detach()," it we should be asking whether a thread is "attached()," rather than "joinable()." Our documentation says "if *this refers to a thread of execution..." all over it, which would seem to indicate that joinable() is an important question even when you're not about to join().

Thoughts?

Is a thread which has finished but hasn't been joined still a "thread of execution"? If not, there is a distinction between joinable and thread of execution. Otherwise attached() seems like a better name.
