<description>
Starts a new [Thread] that runs [code]method[/code] on object [code]instance[/code] with [code]userdata[/code] passed as an argument. Even if no userdata is passed, [code]method[/code] must accept one argument and it will be null. The [code]priority[/code] of the [Thread] can be changed by passing a value from the [enum Priority] enum.
Returns [constant OK] on success, or [constant ERR_CANT_CREATE] on failure.

<description>
Joins the [Thread] and waits for it to finish. Returns what the method called returned.
Should either be used when you want to retrieve the value returned from the method called by the [Thread] or before freeing the instance that contains the [Thread].
