	I suppose that might be an argument for having a standardised;
'XrGetThreadState' or whatever method, that could be used in place of
the state argument[1], but is it worth making the lives of people who
routinely cut and paste code any less painful - surely we want to
inflict more pain on those people. Similarly optimising an API for demos
seems an interesting approach.

	FWIW,

[1] - or even a nasty NULL special case that did something similar.
