Running subtasks will be interrupted, but the state of their `Subtask` will remain `RUNNING` until completed, probably sometime after `join` has returned, because `join` returns immediately when `shutdown` is called. When completed, their `Subtasks` will be passed to `handleComplete`, either in the `FAILED` or `SUCCESS` state. I.e., Unlike `Future`, the state reflects the state of the task itself, not of the handle.

We've added the com.sun.management.Threads.currentThreadEnclosingScopes() method that returns a string with the description of the current structured context -- i.e. the stack trace for the current thread and the enclosing scopes with their owners' respective stack traces -- all the way up the hierarchy.
