#
A run_loop is an execution resource on which work can be scheduled.
It maintains a thread-safe first-in-first-out queue of work.
Its run member function removes elements from the queue and executes them in a loop on the thread of execution that calls run.
2
#
A run_loop instance has an associated count that corresponds to the number of work items that are in its queue.
Additionally, a run_loop instance has an associated state that can be one of starting, running, or finishing.
3
#
Concurrent invocations of the member functions of run_loop other than run and its destructor do not introduce data races.
The member functions pop-front, push-back, and finish execute atomically.

#
Recommended practice: Implementations should use an intrusive queue of operation states to hold the work units to make scheduling allocation-free.
