Bug 16601 – No way to configure number of worker threads for default taskPool

The parallel() and other global functions use the taskPool() getter method to get the TaskPool on which to run parallel() on. In case of scripts it's useful to be able to define the number of threads a script can run in. But, the script then has to instantiate its own TaskPool and remember to use it. It would be useful to be able to do something like: ----- void main ( string[] args ) { size_t threads; getopt( args, "threads|t", "Max number of threads to run the script in", &threads); .taskPool.setThreadCount(threads); // runs in $threads number of threads foreach (item; buffer.parallel()) { } } -----

Oh wait, I believe defaultPoolThreads already does this.
