/**
 * Defines static methods to mark the beginning and end of a possibly blocking
 * operation. The methods are intended to be used with try-finally as follows:
 * {@snippet lang=java :
 *     boolean attempted = Blocker.begin();
 *     try {
 *         // blocking operation
 *     } finally {
 *         Blocker.end(attempted);
 *     }
 * }
 * If invoked from a virtual thread and the underlying carrier thread is a
 * CarrierThread then the code in the block runs as if it were in run in
 * ForkJoinPool.ManagedBlocker. This means the pool can be expanded to support
 * additional parallelism during the blocking operation.
