/*! \file isc/taskpool.h
* \brief A task pool is a mechanism for sharing a small number of tasks
* among a large number of objects such that each object is
* assigned a unique task, but each task may be shared by several
* objects.
*
* Task pools are used to let objects that can exist in large
* numbers (e.g., zones) use tasks for synchronization without
* the memory overhead and unfair scheduling competition that
* could result from creating a separate task for each object.
