// We make this work by allocating a single OS-level TLS, which
// contains an array of slots for the application to use.  In
// parallel, we also allocate an array of destructors, which we
// keep track of and call when threads terminate.

// assigned to the instance variable slot_ in a ThreadLocalStorage::Slot
// instance.  We reserve the value slot_ == 0 to indicate that the corresponding
// instance of ThreadLocalStorage::Slot has been freed (i.e., destructor called,
// etc.).  This reserved use of 0 is then stated as the initial value of
// g_last_used_tls_key, so that the first issued index will be 1.

// for null-ness and then used. Yes, that would be a weird de-optimization,
// but I can imagine some register machines where it was just as easy to
// re-fetch an array element, and I want to be sure a call to free the key
// (i.e., null out the destructor entry) that happens on a separate thread can't
