+// Wrapper that makes an nsIThreadPool a singleton, and provides a
+// consistent threadsafe interface to get instances. Callers simply get a
+// SharedThreadPool by the name of its nsIThreadPool. All get requests of
+// the same name get the same SharedThreadPool. Users must store a reference
+// to the pool, and when the last reference to a SharedThreadPool is dropped
+// the pool is shutdown and deleted. Users aren't required to manually
+// shutdown the pool, and can release references on any thread. This can make
+// it significantly easier to use thread pools, because the caller doesn't need
+// to worry about joining and tearing it down.
+//
+// On Windows all threads in the pool have MSCOM initialized with
+// COINIT_MULTITHREADED. Note that not all users of MSCOM use this mode see [1],
+// and mixing MSCOM objects between the two is terrible for performance, and can
+// cause some functions to fail. So be careful when using Win32 APIs on a
+// SharedThreadPool, and avoid sharing objects if at all possible.
