is there a way to configure the thread names used by the underlying pools and executors for the coroutine dispatchers provided by stdlib?

you could of course make your own `ExecutorService` and then call the extension function `asCoroutineDispatcher()`, that would get you running on threads named whatever you wanted

alternatively you can use CoroutineContext elements `CoroutineName` eg:

```
suspend fun doWork(workItem: WorkItem){
  withContext(CoroutineName("My-API-$workItem") + IOPool){
    //do IO work that your lib offers, or similar
  }
}
```

i'm currently using my own dispatcher from an ExecutorService, but I was looking for a way to use the built in ones now

they seem to be better than just an ExecutorService in some cases

especially the FJP-based default and the IO dispatcher
