returns a platform specific ID for the thread; the latter returns
a QThread pointer.
To choose the name that your thread will be given (as identified
by the command \c{ps -L} on Linux, for example), you can call
\l{QObject::setObjectName()}{setObjectName()} before starting the thread.
If you don't call \l{QObject::setObjectName()}{setObjectName()},
the name given to your thread will be the class name of the runtime
type of your thread object (for example, \c "RenderThread" in the case of the
\l{Mandelbrot Example}, as that is the name of the QThread subclass).
Note that this is currently not available with release builds on Windows.
