     * Dispatches execution of a runnable [block] in the given [context] onto another thread.
     * [context] parameter represents a context of the coroutine that is being dispatched
     * or [EmptyCoroutineContext] if a non-coroutine-specific [Runnable] is dispatched instead.
     * Implementations may use [context] for additional context-specific information,
     * such as priority, whether dispatched coroutine can be invoked in place,
     * coroutine name, and additional diagnostic elements.
     *
     * This method should guarantee that the given [block] will be eventually invoked,
     * otherwise the system may reach a deadlock state and never leave it.
     * The cancellation mechanism is transparent for [CoroutineDispatcher] and is managed by [block] internals.
     *
     * This method should generally be exception-safe. An exception thrown from this method
     * may leave the coroutines that use this dispatcher in the inconsistent and hard-to-debug state.
     *
     * This method must not immediately call [block]. Doing so may result in `StackOverflowError`
     * when `dispatch` is invoked repeatedly, for example when [yield] is called in a loop.
     * In order to execute block in place, it is required to return `false` from [isDispatchNeeded]
     * and delegate `dispatch` implementation to `Dispatchers.Unconfined.dispatch` in such cases.
     * For that, coroutines machinery ensures in place execution and forms an event-loop to
     * avoid unbound recursion.
     *
     * @see isDispatchNeeded
