/**
 * A pool of worker threads that are shared between all Executors created with it. Each executor is treated as a distinct
 * unit, with its own concurrency and task queue limits, but the threads that service the tasks on each executor are
 * free to hop between executors at will.
 *
 * To keep producers from incurring unnecessary delays, once an executor is "spun up" (i.e. is processing tasks at a steady
 * rate), adding tasks to the executor often involves only placing the task on the work queue and updating the
 * task permits (which imposes our max queue length constraints). Only when it cannot be guaranteed the task will be serviced
 * promptly does the producer have to signal a thread itself to perform the work.
 *
 * We do this by scheduling only if
 *
 * The worker threads schedule themselves as far as possible: when they are assigned a task, they will attempt to spawn
 * a partner worker to service any other work outstanding on the queue (if any); once they have finished the task they
 * will either take another (if any remaining) and repeat this, or they will attempt to assign themselves to another executor
 * that does have tasks remaining. If both fail, it will enter a non-busy-spinning phase, where it will sleep for a short
 * random interval (based upon the number of threads in this mode, so that the total amount of non-sleeping time remains
 * approximately fixed regardless of the number of spinning threads), and upon waking up will again try to assign themselves
 * an executor with outstanding tasks to perform.
