Maybe not, but it does have a huge use. It means that all platforms can use the thread keyword without needing to have tls on the platform.

About this, I would be curious to know whether this enhancement benefits libstdc++/24025, which, if I remember correctly, only affects systems not defining _GLIBCXX_HAVE_TLS...
