Detailed Description
Class delimiting the scope of task scheduler activity.
A thread can construct a task_scheduler_init object and keep it alive while it uses TBB's tasking subsystem (including parallel algorithms).
This class allows to customize properties of the TBB task pool to some extent. For example it can limit concurrency level of parallel work initiated by the given thread. It also can be used to specify stack size of the TBB worker threads, though this setting is not effective if the thread pool has already been created.
If a parallel construct is used without task_scheduler_init object previously created, the scheduler will be initialized automatically with default settings, and will persist until this thread exits. Default concurrency level is defined as described in task_scheduler_init::initialize().

Returns the number of threads TBB scheduler would create if initialized by default.
Result returned by this method does not depend on whether the scheduler has already been initialized.
Because tbb 2.0 does not support blocking tasks yet, you may use this method to boost the number of threads in the tbb's internal pool, if your tasks are doing I/O operations. The optimal number of additional threads depends on how much time your tasks spend in the blocked state.
Before TBB 3.0 U4 this method returned the number of logical CPU in the system. Currently on Windows, Linux and FreeBSD it returns the number of logical CPUs available to the current process in accordance with its affinity mask.
NOTE: The return value of this method never changes after its first invocation. This means that changes in the process affinity mask that took place after this method was first invoked will not affect the number of worker threads in the TBB worker threads pool.

Ensure that scheduler exists for this thread.
A value of -1 lets TBB decide on the number of threads, which is usually maximal hardware concurrency for this process, that is the number of logical CPUs on the machine (possibly limited by the processor affinity mask of this process (Windows) or of this thread (Linux, FreeBSD). It is preferable option for production code because it helps to avoid nasty surprises when several TBB based components run side-by-side or in a nested fashion inside the same process.
The number_of_threads is ignored if any other task_scheduler_inits currently exist. A thread may construct multiple task_scheduler_inits. Doing so does no harm because the underlying scheduler is reference counted.

Overloading is necessary to preserve ABI compatibility
