Likely not in 1.0. It's a superset of https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/16134 and it's unclear now (to me at least) what the programming model is with a mix of worker threads (i.e. spawning threads is merely an optimization) and requires threads (i.e. the program will not behave correctly if the code is running on the same thread).
