To be clear-- is_alive() doesn't *always* return True. It returns True until
.join() is called.

>>> from dummy_threading import Thread
>>> def f(): print('foo')
...
>>> t = Thread(target=f)
>>> t.start()
foo
>>> t.is_alive()
True
>>> t.join()
>>> t.is_alive()
False
I would expect is_alive to return True while the target function is executing
and return False after the execution has completed. Instead, .is_alive is
continuing to return True after execution of the target function has completed.
