As you seem to adopt much of the functionality of the Thread::Running module

you might want to keep the same method names as a courtesy to the
Thread::Running users. And it would allow me to retract
Thread::Running from CPAN altogether.
Thread::Running has:
->running
->tojoin
->exited (which I assume is just the negation of ->running)
I did propose ->running, but a few others have responded to a preference
for ->is_running. Similarly, a couple of up-ticks for is_joinable (but
one down-tick). So we'll see how the consensus builds.

I prefer ->is_XXX too. Feels more perlish. (sometimes I'm jaleous of Ruby)
