Ichthyostega 1d625a01e0 Library: complete and modernise ThreadWrapperJoin_test
Since the decision was taken to retain support for this special feature,
and even extend it to allow passing values, the additional functionality
should be documented in the test. Doing so also highlighted subtle problems
with argument binding.
