My primary motivation behind the API change is so there is just a
single public Executor class that you tell what system to use instead
of two separate classes. The use case I was thinking about is when a
user is is unsure which system (threads or processes) they want to use
so they just build the system with the defaults (which is threads)
then it is a little easier to switch it to processes in the future
instead of having to change imports and all instances of the class you
just change the use keyword to switch between systems
