There is quite some support for the second option. But it is not advertised at all.

E.g. there is an entire local task pool impl in tokio_util, but it is not enabled by default and at least for me was difficult to find. https://docs.rs/tokio-util/latest/tokio_util/task/struct.Loc...

I wrote an entire local executor pool before finding that thing and ripping my code out again...

At the very least the support for tasks for non-Send futures should be advertized more, and maybe also the APIs polished a bit.

And yet glommio exists separately from tokio, because apparently it couldn't be achieved using tokio.

I am eager to see what comes of tokio-uring, though. Especially if someone comes up with a good API for reads using shared buffer pools... that one might cause API changes everywhere.
