I have seen that before, didn't know if there was anything closer 
with the task scheduler and worker threads described in the 
documentation for TBB, or if that was the closest thing.

I see that it does have a TaskPool and worker threads within 
that, but they seem to be only using a shared queue and 
individual worker thread queues. So a task spawning another task 
does not really have some of the efficiency benefits that it does 
in TBB (where the worker threads maintain a dequeue instead). I 
also didn't see any mention of task stealing, but maybe it does 
that internally. Not sure. I can take a look at the code for it I 
suppose.
