/** API for running data operations in parallel in a multi-threaded environment.
 * This module allows the JPEG XL caller to define their own way of creating and
 * assigning threads.
 *
 * The JxlParallelRunner function type defines a parallel data processing
 * runner that may be implemented by the caller to allow the library to process
 * in multiple threads. The multi-threaded processing in this library only
 * requires to run the same function over each number of a range, possibly
 * running each call in a different thread. The JPEG XL caller is responsible
 * for implementing this logic using the thread APIs available in their system.
 * For convenience, a C++ implementation based on std::thread is provided in
 * jpegxl/parallel_runner_thread.h (part of the jpegxl_threads library).
 *
 * Thread pools usually store small numbers of heterogeneous tasks in a queue.
 * When tasks are identical or differ only by an integer input parameter, it is
 * much faster to store just one function of an integer parameter and call it
 * for each value. Conventional vector-of-tasks can be run in parallel using a
 * lambda function adapter that simply calls task_funcs[task].
 *
 * If no multi-threading is desired, a @c NULL value of JxlParallelRunner
 * will use an internal implementation without multi-threading.
