"shutdown_threadpool()" name

What do you think of the "shutdown_default_executor()" name?

The default executor can be overriden by set_default_executor():

def set_default_executor(self, executor):
    if not isinstance(executor, concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor):
        warnings.warn(
            'Using the default executor that is not an instance of '
            'ThreadPoolExecutor is deprecated and will be prohibited '
            'in Python 3.9',
            DeprecationWarning, 2)
    self._default_executor = executor

The default executor should always be a thread pool, so "shutdown_threadpool()" name is also correct. I have no strong preference.
