How do I run tasks in Fibers once the Fiber.schedule methods are gone?

[Arkadiusz Gasiński]

Awesome, thanks!

Also, given these changes to Fiber's API, what would be the recommended way
to rewrite Mark's code <https://youtu.be/Csc2JRs6470?t=1598> he wrote for
his loom rest demo he did at Devoxx last year?

I assume that FiberScope.background().schedule() would be the simplest way
to refactor his ThreadPool.execute(Runnable) method, but perhaps
maintaining a dedicated FiberScope in the ThreadPool would be a better idea
(though FiberScope.isClosed() method would be useful to not schedule new
tasks if the scope has been closed)?

Thanks,
Arek
