I really like the general out-of-bound work feature, however I have a hard time imagining a use-case that is not garbage-collection, and that wouldn't be better solved by having a background worker process. Can anyone suggest some situations?
In theory it can be used for any kind of work that cannot be (easily) passed to another process, and that would block all threads. Another use case that I can think of is generating garbage collection statistics. But perhaps the community can find more use cases, we made it general so that people can be creative. :)
