Is is not because it generally not necessary? Since the thread is very much
a function of the tool used, it's just a simple move in G-code with the
selected tool. If you wanted something fancy, like a corkscrew, you'd have
to model it in any case.

Maybe one should first ask; what are you trying to do?
