/// Returns the id of the main thread.
///
/// Windows has no real API to check if the current executing thread is the "main thread", unlike
/// macOS.
///
/// Windows will let us look up the current thread's id, but there's no API that lets us check what
/// the id of the main thread is. We would somehow need to get the main thread's id before a
/// developer could spin off any other threads inside of the main entrypoint in order to emulate the
/// capabilities of other platforms.
///
/// We can get the id of the main thread by using CRT initialization. CRT initialization can be used
/// to setup global state within a program. The OS will call a list of function pointers which
/// assign values to a static variable. To have get a hold of the main thread id, we need to place
/// our function pointer inside of the `.CRT$XCU` section so it is called before the main
/// entrypoint.
///
/// Full details of CRT initialization can be found here:
/// <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/crt-initialization?view=msvc-160>
