Thank you very much Eric!
As a matter of fact, I did find an issue, which I'm not sure is a bug;
consider this line from the `add` method:
cur = @id_table[mid] ||= Msgthr::Container.new(mid)

If `mid` is the empty string or a string which only contains
whitespace, it's considered a valid key for `id_table`.
However, I'd expect an empty string and (arguably) whitespace-only
strings to be equivalent to nil.

Happy new year!

Thanks for the feedback, I've pushed the following out and will
likely release 1.1.0 in a day or two (in case you notice any
other things wrong).

I was planning on writing something else using this, but it's on
the backburner for now; so you might be the only user at the
moment :)

Subject: simplify API to avoid (and raise on) user errors

This fixes our API to match the documentation in making
Msgthr#order! optional.  Furthermore, the block previously
passed to Msgthr#order! may now be passed to Msgthr#thread!
instead.

We accomplish this by tracking internal state explicitly, so a
Msgthr::StateError exception will be raised when methods are
called in an unsupported order.  This internal state is reset
with Msgthr#clear.

For users who truly do not care about ordering, Msgthr#walk_thread
may be called immediately after the last call to Msgthr#add.

Thanks to Dimid Duchovny for the feedback which led to this:
