Hi!
ForkJoinPool class documentation says nothing about it using daemon

Right; thanks.
The sentence previously mentioning this in passing was changed,
leaving no mention of daemon status. We should add one:

(see "Sample Usage").
I think it's an important note about ForkJoinPool and should be added
back.
