* associated with the current dispatcher.
* Examples of closeable dispatchers are dispatchers backed by `java.lang.Executor` and
* by `kotlin.native.Worker`.
*
* **The `CloseableCoroutineDispatcher` class is not stable for inheritance in 3rd party libraries**, as new methods
* might be added to this interface in the future, but is stable for use.
