Hello,
I did a look into draft n2276 - a launch_in_pool function is suggested (passing task to a system provided threadpool).
Is it reasonable to have a static threadpool?
How many worker-threads should this pool contain and how are the submitted tasks queued (FIFO, priority order ... unlimited/limited number of tasks can bes stored).
What about applications which require a pool with different configuration than the static pool provides?
Is it acceptable to pay for an unused pool?

regards,
Oliver
