 * @brief Thread Pooling and Monitoring
 * @{
 *
 * vmtoolsd provides a worker thread pool for use by plugins. This pool is
 * shared among all plugins, and is configurable from the Tools config file.
 * Plugins can submit tasks to the thread pool by using one of the inline
 * functions declared in this header.
 *
 * The thread pool is a shared resource, so code whose execution time may be
 * very long might want to, instead, create a dedicated thread for execution.
 * The shared thread pool also provides a facility to more easily do that,
 * with the lifecycle of the new thread managed by the thread pool so that it
 * is properly notified of service shutdown.
 *
 * Finally, depending on the configuration, the shared thread pool might not
 * be a thread pool at all: if the configuration has disabled threading, tasks
 * destined to the shared thread pool will be executed on the main service
 * thread.
