/// and blocking code][blocking] section for more information.
///
/// Although this function avoids starving other independently spawned

/// suspended during the call to `block_in_place`. This can happen e.g. when
/// using the [`join!`] macro. To avoid this issue, use [`spawn_blocking`]
/// instead.
///
/// Note that this function can only be used on the [threaded scheduler].
///
/// Code running behind `block_in_place` 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.

/// Tokio will spawn more blocking threads when they are requested through

/// 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; to run your CPU-bound
/// computations on only a few threads, you should use a separate thread
/// pool such as [rayon] rather than configuring the number of blocking
/// threads.
///
/// 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.
