on these thread pools. The futures are thread safe.
- `Moonpool.Chan` provides simple cooperative and thread-safe channels
to use within pool-bound tasks. They're essentially re-usable futures.
On OCaml 5 (meaning there's actual domains and effects, not just threads),
a `Fut.await` primitive is provided. It's simpler and more powerful
than the monadic combinators.
- `Moonpool.Fork_join` provides the fork-join parallelism primitives
to use within tasks running in the pool.
