This was going to cover more, but it turned out to already be fairly well covered.

so when perl see -dt option it will just set PERL5DB_THREADED=1. It does nothing to guess what is threading backend will be used in the script, right?

If yes, probably it would be nice to mention on perldebguts that:

Perl knows nothing about threading used inside debugged script and can not check that.

Otherwise we are good to go.
