Apple describes it [here](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/os/3564850-os_workgroup_max_parallel_thread).

And mention it at the end of [this video](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10224/).

More of a nice-to-have than a must have I guess, but it is part of their realtime thread workgroup toolset so a JUCE API for it would make sense.

Might be interesting, if this function actually takes into account the number of already assigned threads on a workgroup, since multiple plugins could have already registered threads on the same workgroup linked to an audio device when you are adding your own.  
(Although the os\_workgroup\_join function does return an error code, and presumably it will do it if the max number of threads has already been added to an existing workgroup.)
