share state? they use the same global state? i just thought that the new
thread had a copy of the original thread. The doc says:

"Each thread has an independent table for global variables. When you create
a thread this table is the same as of the given state, but you can change
each one independently."
Doesn't that mean that at the beginning the global tables are equal (but not
the same) and that i can add a key to one table without seen it in the
other? And if i modify a value that is in both tables the value will change
in both tables?
