First question: is Start an accurate replacement for Resume,
Yes.
or can it
only be used to start a thread created in the suspended state?
Yes.
Both yes, because anything but that was never fully supported with Resume in
the first place.
Second question: now that Suspend is deprecated, what should a thread do
if it wants to stop processing pending a subsequent resume?
Add a Tevent, and block on it. IOW nothing built-in.
OK, noted. But as a stylistic point it seems to me that this very basic
functionality has been ripped out of the RTL (Classes.TThread) and moved
into the FCL (Syncobjs.TEvent) leaving no adequate substitute.
