[TCLCORE] Does the Thread package work in Tcl 8.4?

[Mo D. <md...@cy...>]

I am reading these docs about "Thread 2.0".

http://dev.scriptics.com/doc/howto/thread_model.html

That seems to imply I should be able to do a
"package require Tcl 2.0", but when I do that
I get this error:

% package require Thread 2.0
version conflict for package "Thread": have 1.0, need 2.0

( I am running this with "make runtest" by the way )


The only place this seems to be defined is in tclThreadTest.c:

int
TclThread_Init(interp)
    Tcl_Interp *interp; /* The current Tcl interpreter */
{
    
    Tcl_CreateObjCommand(interp,"testthread", Tcl_ThreadObjCmd, 
	    (ClientData)NULL ,NULL);
    if (Tcl_PkgProvide(interp, "Thread", "1.0" ) != TCL_OK) {
	return TCL_ERROR;
    }
    return TCL_OK;
}


When I run this in "normal" tclsh, I get this error:

% package require Thread
can't find package Thread

Am I just missing something here? How can I detect
if Tcl 8.3 was compiled with the --enable-thread
option?
