You really should have mentioned this tidbit:
Thread library for LOVE2d v0.8
Unless that's not true, that is. But yeah, 2, almost 3 versions behind the current.
Me and my stuff :3True Neutral Aspirant. Why, yes, i do indeed enjoy sarcastically correcting others when they make the most blatant of spelling mistakes. No bullying or trolling the innocent tho.

Is newproxy really necessary? Couldn't __gc be set on the thread userdata instead of the table it's in?

If that doesn't work, at least localize setmetatable so the library won't overwrite the global setmetatable.

Yes, i think about fix it. Newproxy works, and setmetatable will not be overwritten in next release.
But now, for average using threads, is okay.
