/*! A model of the fork-join concept. `run(...)` "forks" (i.e. spawns new
tasks), and `~task_region_handle()` or `wait()` "joins" the spawned tasks.
`wait` will block until all tasks have completed, while `~task_region_handle()`
blocks until all tasks have completed or aborted.

Do _NOT_ give this object to separate thread of execution (which includes
`task_region_handle::run(...)`) because joining on a different thread is
undesireable (potential deadlock). 

This class cannot be constructed directly, use the function
`task_region(...)` instead.
