// Provides an implementation of a simple thread-safe asynchronous
// dispatcher based on a Zircon completion port. The implementation
// is designed to avoid most dynamic memory allocation except for that
// which is required to create the loop in the first place or to manage
// the list of running threads.
//
// See README.md for example usage.
