// - The worker threads will pick up work jobs as they arrive.
// - If all workers are busy, work jobs are queued for later execution.
//
// The thread pool is shut down when the pool is destroyed.
//
// Example usage of the thread pool:
//   {
//     std::unique_ptr<ThreadPool> pool = ThreadPool::Create(4);
//     for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i) {  // Dispatch 100 jobs.
//       pool->Schedule([&my_data]() { MyFunction(&my_data); });
//     }
//   } // ThreadPool gets destroyed only when all jobs are done.
