+/**
+ * A recursive result-bearing {@link ForkJoinTask}.
+ *
+ * <p>For a classic example, here is a task computing Fibonacci numbers:
+ *
+ * <pre> {@code
+ * class Fibonacci extends RecursiveTask<Integer> {
+ * final int n;
+ * Fibonacci(int n) { this.n = n; }
+ * Integer compute() {
+ * if (n <= 1)
+ * return n;
+ * Fibonacci f1 = new Fibonacci(n - 1);
+ * f1.fork();
+ * Fibonacci f2 = new Fibonacci(n - 2);
+ * return f2.compute() + f1.join();
+ * }
+ * }}</pre>
+ *
+ * However, besides being a dumb way to compute Fibonacci functions
+ * (there is a simple fast linear algorithm that you'd use in
+ * practice), this is likely to perform poorly because the smallest
+ * subtasks are too small to be worthwhile splitting up. Instead, as
+ * is the case for nearly all fork/join applications, you'd pick some
+ * minimum granularity size (for example 10 here) for which you always
+ * sequentially solve rather than subdividing.
+ *
