Subject: [PATCH] Refine wording of Thread::panicking
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Previous wording wasn’t clear about its actual behaviour. It could be
interpreted as answering either:

* Can current thread panic?
* Is current thread unwinding because of panic?
