/// thread dedicated to blocking operations. See the [CPU-bound tasks and
/// blocking code][blocking] section for more information.
///
/// Tokio will spawn more blocking threads when they are requested through this
/// function until the upper limit configured on the [`Builder`] is reached.
/// This limit is very large by default, because `spawn_blocking` is often used
/// for various kinds of IO operations that cannot be performed asynchronously.
/// When you run CPU-bound code using `spawn_blocking`, you should keep this
/// large upper limit in mind. When running many CPU-bound computations, a
/// semaphore or some other synchronization primitive should be used to limit
/// the number of computation executed in parallel. Specialized CPU-bound
/// executors, such as [rayon], may also be a good fit.
///
/// This function is intended for non-async operations that eventually finish on
/// their own. If you want to spawn an ordinary thread, you should use
/// [`thread::spawn`] instead.
///
/// Closures spawned using `spawn_blocking` cannot be cancelled. When you shut
/// down the executor, it will wait indefinitely for all blocking operations to
/// finish. You can use [`shutdown_timeout`] to stop waiting for them after a
/// certain timeout. Be aware that this will still not cancel the tasks — they
/// are simply allowed to keep running after the method returns.
///
/// Note that if you are using the single threaded runtime, this function will
/// still spawn additional threads for blocking operations. The basic
/// scheduler's single thread is only used for asynchronous code.
