Allow a callback to be called when each thread is started #45

Closed harlowja closed 9 years ago

harlowja commented 9 years ago

It can be quite useful to have a callback run before each thread starts to do work, to setup any thread-local context or other thread specifics that will be used throughout the threads lifecycle. Adding a callback as an init argument allows this to easily occur.

This is a backport. I will not allow any features that don't exist in upstream code.
