It should be up to the scheduler to use threads/thread pools to achieve
what it wants. Of course an application that deliberately needs
single-threadedness should have the option to select a scheduler that
provides that feature.

Which brings me to another thing we recently discussed on IRC:
If we make threading implicit and allow the schedulers to insert new
threads (which obviously need queues), how do we guarantee or at least
achieve low latency?
