[per-thread defaults]

C'mon guys, hasn't anyone ever played consultant before? The 
idea is obviously brain-dead. OTOH, they asked for it 
specifically, meaning they have some assumptions about how 
they think they're going to use it. If you give them what they 
ask for, you'll only have to fix it when they realize there are 
other ways of doing things that don't work with per-thread 
defaults. So, you find out why they think it's a good thing; you 
make it easy for them to code this way (without actually using 
per-thread defaults) and you don't make a fuss about it. More 
than likely, they won't either.
