That is, it is okay to call BeginThread and never call CloseThread?
Because that is how TThread currently works, and is in contradiction to
the documentation.
And no one bothers to read my answer :(
Again: The only RTL that currently(!) does something inside CloseThread
is the Windows RTL: it closes the thread handle (which was returned by
BeginThread and is passed as an argument to CloseThread) using CloseHandle.
The Windows TThread.SysDestroy also calls CloseHandle on the handle
returned by BeginThread, so the semantic behavior of
Begin-/End-/CloseThread and TThread is the same.
Nevertheless in my opinion TThread needs to be adjusted so that it calls
CloseThread for all RTLs and the direct CloseHandle call needs to be
removed. And this is exactly what I will do now...
