Usage

Create a pool and execute jobs using it:

Async::Reactor.run do |task|
	# Make a pool with two workers:
	pool = Async::Worker::Pool.new(2)
	
	tasks = 5.times.collect do
		task.async do
			# Add the work to the queue and wait for it to complete:
			pool.async do
				sleep 0.1
			end
		end
	end
	
	tasks.each(&:wait)
	
	pool.close
end
