60      * A coroutine dispatcher that is not confined to any specific thread.
61      * It executes initial continuation of the coroutine in the current call-frame
62      * and lets the coroutine resume in whatever thread that is used by the corresponding suspending function, without
63      * mandating any specific threading policy. Nested coroutines launched in this dispatcher form an event-loop to avoid
64      * stack overflows.
65      *
66      * ### Event loop
67      * Event loop semantics is a purely internal concept and have no guarantees on the order of execution
68      * except that all queued coroutines will be executed on the current thread in the lexical scope of the outermost
69      * unconfined coroutine.
70      *
71      * For example, the following code:
72      * ```
73      * withContext(Dispatchers.Unconfined) {
74      *    println(1)
75      *    withContext(Dispatchers.Unconfined) { // Nested unconfined
76      *        println(2)
77      *    }
78      *    println(3)
79      * }
80      * println("Done")
81      * ```
82      * Can print both "1 2 3" and "1 3 2", this is an implementation detail that can be changed.
83      * But it is guaranteed that "Done" will be printed only when both `withContext` are completed.
84      *
85      *
86      * Note that if you need your coroutine to be confined to a particular thread or a thread-pool after resumption,
87      * but still want to execute it in the current call-frame until its first suspension, then you can use
88      * an optional [CoroutineStart] parameter in coroutine builders like
89      * [launch][CoroutineScope.launch] and [async][CoroutineScope.async] setting it to
90      * the value of [CoroutineStart.UNDISPATCHED].

96      * The [CoroutineDispatcher] that is designed for offloading blocking IO tasks to a shared pool of threads.
97      *
98      * Additional threads in this pool are created and are shutdown on demand.
99      * The number of threads used by tasks in this dispatcher is limited by the value of
100      * "`kotlinx.coroutines.io.parallelism`" ([IO_PARALLELISM_PROPERTY_NAME]) system property.
101      * It defaults to the limit of 64 threads or the number of cores (whichever is larger).
102      *
103      * ### Elasticity for limited parallelism
104      *
105      * `Dispatchers.IO` has a unique property of elasticity: its views
106      * obtained with [CoroutineDispatcher.limitedParallelism] are
107      * not restricted by the `Dispatchers.IO` parallelism. Conceptually, there is
108      * a dispatcher backed by an unlimited pool of threads, and both `Dispatchers.IO`
109      * and views of `Dispatchers.IO` are actually views of that dispatcher. In practice
110      * this means that, despite not abiding by `Dispatchers.IO`'s parallelism
111      * restrictions, its views share threads and resources with it.
112      *
113      * In the following example
114      * ```
115      * // 100 threads for MySQL connection
116      * val myMysqlDbDispatcher = Dispatchers.IO.limitedParallelism(100)
117      * // 60 threads for MongoDB connection
118      * val myMongoDbDispatcher = Dispatchers.IO.limitedParallelism(60)
119      * ```
120      * the system may have up to `64 + 100 + 60` threads dedicated to blocking tasks during peak loads,
121      * but during its steady state there is only a small number of threads shared
122      * among `Dispatchers.IO`, `myMysqlDbDispatcher` and `myMongoDbDispatcher`.
123      *
124      * ### Implementation note
125      *
126      * This dispatcher and its views share threads with the [Default][Dispatchers.Default] dispatcher, so using
127      * `withContext(Dispatchers.IO) { ... }` when already running on the [Default][Dispatchers.Default]
128      * dispatcher typically does not lead to an actual switching to another thread. In such scenarios,
129      * the underlying implementation attempts to keep the execution on the same thread on a best-effort basis.
130      *
131      * As a result of thread sharing, more than 64 (default parallelism) threads can be created (but not used)
132      * during operations over IO dispatcher.

142      *
143      * This is a **delicate** API. It is not supposed to be called from a general

145      * The invocation of shutdown affects most of the coroutines machinery and
