threads killing other threads

I've occasionally wanted thread objects to have an exit() method, so that
one thread could interrrupt and kill another.  This doesn't seem to be 
available, perhaps because POSIX threads don't support it.

Is that correct?

Is there some reason why threads killing threads would be undesirable or
hard to implement?
