/** Set user controllable runtime parameters
 *
 *  Call this function to set runtime parameters that control the behavior 
 *  of the Cilk scheduler.
 *
 *  @param param    A string specifying the parameter to be set. One of:
 *  -   `"nworkers"`
 *  -   `"force reduce"`
 *  @param value    A string specifying the parameter value.
 *  @returns        A value from the @ref __cilkrts_set_param_status 
 *                  enumeration indicating the result of the operation.
 *
 *  @par The "nworkers" parameter
 *
 *  This parameter specifies the number of worker threads to be created by the
 *  Cilk runtime. @a Value must be a string of digits to be parsed by 
 *  `strtol()`.
 *
 *  The number of worker threads is:
 *  1.  the value set with `__cilkrts_set_param("nworkers")`, if it is 
 *      positive; otherwise,
 *  2.  the value of the CILK_NWORKERS environment variable, if it is 
 *      defined; otherwise
 *  3.  the number of cores available, as reported by the operating system.
 *
 *  @note
 *  Technically, Cilk distinguishes between the _user thread_ (the thread that
 *  the user code was executing on when the Cilk runtime started), and 
 *  _worker threads_ (new threads created by the Cilk runtime to support
 *  Cilk parallelism). `nworkers` actually includes both the user thread and
 *  the worker threads; that is, it is one greater than the number of true
 *  “worker threads”.
 *
 *  @note
 *  Setting `nworkers = 1` produces serial behavior. Cilk spawns and syncs will
 *  be executed, but with only one worker, continuations will never be stolen,
 *  so all code will execute in serial.
 *
 *  @warning
 *  The number of worker threads can only be set *before* the runtime has 
 *  started. Attempting to set it when the runtime is running will have no 
 *  effect, and will return an error code. You can call __cilkrts_end_cilk() 
 *  to shut down the runtime to change the number of workers.
 *
 *  @warning
 *  The default Cilk scheduler behavior is usually pretty good. The ability
 *  to override `nworkers` can be useful for experimentation, but it won’t
 *  usually be necessary for getting good performance.
 *
 *  @par The "force reduce" parameter
 *
 *  This parameter controls whether the runtime should allocate a new view
 *  for a reducer for every parallel strand that it is accessed on. (See 
 *  @ref pagereducers.) @a Value must be `"1"` or `"true"` to enable the 
 *  “force reduce” behavior, or `"0"` or `"false"` to disable it.
 *
 *  “Force reduce” behavior will also be enabled if 
 *  `__cilkrts_set_param("force reduce")` is not called, but the
 *  `CILK_FORCE_REDUCE` environment variable is defined.
 *
 *  @warning
 *  When this option is enabled, `nworkers` should be set to `1`. Using “force
 *  reduce” with more than one worker may result in runtime errors.
 *  
 *  @warning
 *  Enabling this option can significantly reduce performance. It should
 *  _only_ be used as a debugging tool.
