Then document that it isn't stable; anybody who relies
on it deserves what they get. If we put a command line
argument on it then people will still be able to incorrectly
rely on thread naming by using the command line option.

In this case surely we are already stuck with our current
threading model?  I would be anyway happy to say "you
relied on undefined and unstable behaviour so tough"...

On the other hand, a new command line switch really is
user interface which we have to carry around and support
for ever.
