ThreadId gripe

I wouldn't *personally* mind changing the Show instance, but I'm
worried that existing code (such as what I just wrote with "drop
9.show") might depend on the current behavior.

I thought it might be better just to add a "ThreadId -> Integer"
function. I don't know if this would be difficult to write in some
implementations though.
