If there was a common standard, how do you resolve the additional need of sync/send+static for multithreaded executors?

You don't. Anything that can be sent between threads needs to be `Send` and anything shared between threads needs to be `Sync`. This is really important invariant that the rust compiler provides.

Spec one API for singlethreaded and another for multithreaded executors.
