+ * Virtual thread executor mimicking the behavior of {@link EsThreadPoolExecutor} with virtual threads.
+ *
+ * <p>Until the concurrency limit {@link #maxThreads} is reached, each new task is run on a new virtual thread. Otherwise, tasks will be
+ * queued while capacity {@link #maxQueueSize} allows and rejected afterwards. If {@link #maxQueueSize} is negative, the queue is unbounded.
+ *
+ * <p>{@link AbstractRunnable#isForceExecution()}{@code =true} allows bypassing the queue limit and force queuing of a task regardless
+ * of available capacity.
+ *
+ * <p>On completion of a task, further queued tasks might be executed on the same virtual thread.
+ *
+ * <p>This executor delays shutdown of the underlying virtual thread executor until pending tasks have been completed
+ * to mimic the behavior of the {@link EsThreadPoolExecutor} in combination with {@link EsExecutors.ForceQueuePolicy}
+ * if {@link #rejectAfterShutdown}{@code =false}.
+ *
+ * <p>In that case, if capacity permits, tasks are accepted and executed even after shutdown. Once all pending tasks have been completed,
+ * the underlying virtual thread executor is shutdown. Any attempt to submit new tasks afterwards is silently ignored without
+ * rejecting the tasks.
+ *
+ * <p>Note: Sharing of expensive resources such as buffers by means of {@link ThreadLocal}s isn't applicable if using virtual threads as
+ * there's no point pooling them. If using virtual threads, {@link ThreadLocal}s should be replaced by object pools or similar for sharing
+ * resources in most of the cases.
