/// If the current thread is part of a different thread pool, it will try to
/// keep busy while the `op` completes in its target pool, similar to
/// calling [`ThreadPool::yield_now()`] in a loop. Therefore, it may
/// potentially schedule other tasks to run on the current thread in the
/// meantime. For example
///
/// ```rust
/// # use rayon_core as rayon;
/// use rayon::iter::{IntoParallelIterator, ParallelIterator};
/// fn main() {
/// rayon::ThreadPoolBuilder::new().num_threads(1).build_global().unwrap();
/// let pool = rayon::ThreadPoolBuilder::default().build().unwrap();
/// (0..3).into_par_iter().for_each(|_| {
/// print!("one ");
/// pool.install(||{});
/// print!("two ");
/// });
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Since we configured just one thread in the global pool, one might
/// expect this to run sequentially, producing:
///
/// ```ascii
/// one two one two one two
/// ```
///
/// However each call to `install()` yields implicitly, allowing rayon to
/// run several instances of the `for_each()` loop concurrently on the
/// single, global thread. The following output would be equally valid:
///
/// ```ascii
/// one one two one two two
/// ```
///
/// # Panics
///
/// If `op` should panic, that panic will be propagated.
