For C and C++, I don't think so.

For Java... with gcj, a Java Thread is always also an OS thread. Java
does have a bit more information than what the OS provides -- threads
have names, are bundled into groups, etc. It might be handy to
display that to the user ... though the user can easily just
'p Thread.currentThread()'.

In short, I wouldn't worry about it.
