[boost] Adding an option to set the name of a boost::thread

Has any thought been given to allowing a name to be set on a boost::thread, such that (if the underlying implementation supports it) that name would show up in things like top and ps? In Linux, you can name a thread via the prctl() call and it will show up in top - dandy for debugging which of the bazillion threads in my app has decided to suck up all the CPU. I don't know if Windows supports such a call, and IMHO it would be acceptable if the call did nothing in such a case. Ideally, I'd want to see it as a property, something like: void boost::thread::set_name(std::string name) std::string boost::thread::get_name() const;
