This branch records some clarifications on CLAP's threading ideas. It's based on recent discord discussions and comments by @abique, thanks for that.

I've change the PR to target the branch next. Please, always target the branch next :+1:

In general I'm in favor of concise documentation, where all the implication can be guessed with a bit of thinking. Like how they documented the single unix specification and posix.

I think that over explaining something leads to:

* why is the same thing explained twice? Is there an exception?

* the text is too long, I'll skip it.

Understood. With regards to threading, my personal impression was that the spec is a bit ambiguous so far, we've also had several discussions and people asking questions about it. Is there some specific duplication you can point out, that I should better get rid of in the PR?
