    // Specify the number of threads to be used and the number of work
    // item spaces to start with.

    // Setting the threads to 0 will let the system choose the number
    // of threads. Setting the buffer length to None will default the
    // buffer length to a reasonable amount.

    // Closing the pool will send a quit message to the threads and
    // block while it waits for the threads to join.

    // Dropping the pool will send a quit message to
    // the threads and detach them - you won't have to
    // wait for the threads to join
