Indeed, if you write your own Thread class, you can add a try...except
in the Thread.run() method.  You don't need a dedicated
Thread.excepthook() method.

The only way a per-thread hook could be useful is if you could set it
*outside* of the Thread class (so not as a method), so that one can e.g.
catch / report exceptions raised in threads launches by third-party
libraries.
