Detailed Description

An object for running several Thread objects simultaneously. A ThreadList object is a Thread in and of itself. This allows the creation of tiered ThreadList objects by placing a lower-priority ThreadList inside of a higher-priority ThreadList.

Note:

DO NOT place a Thread in more than one ThreadList or more than once in a single ThreadList. DO NOT place a ThreadList inside of itself or one of its children. Also, DO NOT place the main_thread_list in another ThreadList. These WILL cause memory corruption (and are silly things to do in the first place).
