Naming a thread

Howdy! Is there any way to reassign a name to a thread in TinyCLR? It doesn’t seem to recognize the .Name property, but when a thread ends it still prints the message “The thread ‘No Name’ (0x8) has exited with code 0 (0x0).”

It looks like you can assign the numerical value of the thread (in this case 0x8), but I can’t figure out how to rename it.

A review of the following code will help you answer your question.

namespace System.Threading {
    using System;
    using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

    // deliberately not [serializable]
    public sealed class Thread {
#pragma warning disable CS0169 // The field is never used
        private Delegate m_Delegate;
        private int m_Priority;
        [System.Reflection.FieldNoReflection]
        private object m_Thread;
        [System.Reflection.FieldNoReflection]
        private object m_AppDomain;
        private int m_Id;
#pragma warning restore CS0169 // The field is never used
        [MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
        extern public Thread(ThreadStart start);
        [MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
        extern public void Start();
        [MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
