;;; Commentary:
;;;
;;; This module implements "worker pools".  Worker pools are the low-level
;;; mechanism that's behind futures: there's a fixed set of threads
;;; ("workers") that one can submit work to, and one of them will eventually
;;; pick the submitted tasks.
;;;
;;; Unlike futures, these worker pools are meant to be used for tasks that
;;; have a side-effect.  Thus, we never "touch" a task that was submitted like
;;; we "touch" a future.  Instead, we simply assume that the task will
;;; eventually complete.
