Just to add a bit more detail on this, the package named "Thread"
provides many commands in multiple namespaces including the global 
namespace (!).  See the complete list at the end of this message.

Honestly I'm not a fan of packages that consume more than one toplevel
namespace.  Both Tcl and Tk are also guilty of this, but I'd really
hoped to demand better practices as part of the price of admission to
the tcl/pkgs bundle.

So to anyone who was wondering, no the thread*.tar.gz distribution
does not include "tpool" and "tsv" packages in addition to "Thread"
and "Ttrace", though I can see how that confusion might arise.
