Good point, it could be the last one, which is just becoming out ouf range
if the number of threads is reduced. But since switch_thread() would wrap it
to zero anyhow, I think it's not necessary.

If not, it would temporarily be not strictly round-robin, but is this a
problem?

I think this is not necessary. A thread can delete itself, with the next
yield it just wouldn't be called again.

I haven't actually tested the code yet, will do soon when I start using it,
making my Alpine plugin a TSR. Maybe I have to fix something then.
