// Interface for getting the current ThreadIdentity, creating one if necessary.
// See thread_identity.h.
//
// This file is separate from thread_identity.h because creating a new
// ThreadIdentity requires slightly higher level libraries (per_thread_sem
// and low_level_alloc) than accessing an existing one.  This separation allows
// us to have a smaller //absl/base:base.
