Can we explicitly run schedulers on demonic threads?

[dbrattli]

Yes, that is a good idea. Which scheduler are you using? Note that all operators that uses a scheduler accepts a scheduler as a parameter, but will use a default scheduler if not specified. The EventLoopScheduler accepts a thread_factory where you may decide how you create your threads. Maybe we should do something similar for other thread creating schedulers as well. But new threads should probably be daemonized by default.

I am using NewThreadScheduler currently to schedule a task. This prevents program to exit if there is a problem with the program running on main thread.
