.Thread.currentThread().getName() is "" for a virtual thread

Hi,
using non-virutal threads, `Thread.currentThread().getName()` can be
used to get the name of the current thread. This has a sensible value
for threads managed by, for example, a `Executors.newFixedThreadPool(256)`.
Calling `.getName()` on a virtual thread managed by a
`Executors.newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor()` returns the empty string "".
Doing without `.getName()` in this szenario,
`Thread.currentThread().toString()` returns something like
"VirtualThread[#96]/runnable at ForkJoinPool-1-worker-3"
which is fine but a little long for use cases such as logging.
What is the recommended way to get a short string representation of a
virtual thread?
Regards
Lutz
