No opinions eh? ;-)

Took a few minutes to search back through the newsgroups and it looks 
like this feature was out of 3.7 development for a time and then 
restored with some asking for it in 3.7.

When I get a moment I'll either open up a github issue or a pull request 
if a quick look at the code shows an easy fix like c++11's thread_local.
