Expose Scope/Spawn for global threadpool

[seivan]

Sometimes I just want to run some computations parallel and rather call the functions that return their results.
Rayon has join/spawn/scope is there anyway we could get something similar here?
std lets you call x.join() to get the Result<X>

Thanks @seivan . Certainly a good idea, at times I find myself in a similar situation too. Currently, the library is going through a large revision towards v4, and I will try to figure out the api while working on it.

I think staying close to std is a good idea while still getting the benefits of a managed global or per instance threadpool. Otherwise if you want a reference look at Apples GCD. I honestly prefer their API with their named schedulers that sorta work as QoS.
