It doesn't really make sense to have that, because most (if not 
all) operating systems only allow rendering from a single thread 
and I believe OSX (possibly macOS too.) only allows it from the 
main thread. Which means the only thing you can really operate on 
other threads are events, but you'll always have to do callbacks 
to your UI thread in order to render.
