Keep in mind that this library magic is consistent with the library magic that the threading module does - unless the user sets Thread.daemon to True, the interpreter does not exit until the thread does.

Along those lines, an Executor.daemon option may be a good idea. That way the default behaviour is to wait until things are done (just like threading itself), but it is easy for someone to turn that behaviour off for a specific executor.

Cheers, Nick.
