Ephemeral threads

Please don’t kill me…..
My current experiment on a large code base and I am using JDK 25 and opening up some internals.
I try to stick to what available in loom branch…. Hoping to reap out my kludge with what you’ll presumably provide.
For example I provided myself 
Thread.ofVirtual().factory().scheduler() 

I will have a question / report email in a few weeks.

I see that doc there (loom repro) changes as well. 
It’s not clear to me if all you want to expose is what’s in current doc or what is still in the code.
For example I need that variable on VirtualTask that disappeared in the current doc.

I can start the thread now :)
