If the thread state is not a boolean, then IMHO offering convenient
functions which treat it as such and then putting a warning in the
comment is really setting up a subtle trap for GDB hackers... :-)

What about just nuking is_running and is_stopping, and making everybody
use is_thread_state directly? That would make this reality explicit.
