/**
* A recursive result-bearing {@link ForkJoinTask}.
*
* For a classic example, here is a task computing Fibonacci numbers:
*
*
{@code
* class Fibonacci extends RecursiveTask {
* final int n;
* Fibonacci(int n) { this.n = n; }
* Integer compute() {
* if (n <= 1)
* return n;
* Fibonacci f1 = new Fibonacci(n - 1);
* f1.fork();
* Fibonacci f2 = new Fibonacci(n - 2);
* return f2.compute() + f1.join();
* }
* }}
*
* However, besides being a dumb way to compute Fibonacci functions
* (there is a simple fast linear algorithm that you'd use in
* practice), this is likely to perform poorly because the smallest
* subtasks are too small to be worthwhile splitting up. Instead, as
* is the case for nearly all fork/join applications, you'd pick some
* minimum granularity size (for example 10 here) for which you always
* sequentially solve rather than subdividing.
*
