You can use the thread itself, it's usable as key (that's what 
threadlocals use for their implementation anyway)

But I don't understand your problem - all thread-local implementations I 
know of (is there a standard?) can be instantiated in each object and 
then offer a get/set method (keyed or not) - but without interfering 
with outher instances of themselves of course.
