Detailed Description

A Worker is a thread that runs a runnable.

When the runnable is done, the worker terminates itself. Thus this facility allows a job to outlive the thread that computes it [the idea being that a thread may be far more resources-expensive than the job itself]. Exceptions raised in the runnable are caught in the worker, so that the worker will properly terminate regarless how the runnable ended.
