I would like a version of Application.launch that did not wait for the JavaFX thread to exit

      Nearly every time I use Platform.launch, I have to use Thread first to get another thread. This is
      because launch holds on the the thread used to call it until Platform.exit.
      It would be very useful if launch worked more like Thread.start and gave you the thread back.
      You could then use Platform.join like Thread.join at the end of the program.
      This, together with RT-32926, would simplify programming with JavaFX
