Description
Things I couldn't figure out by reading https://docs.nunit.org/articles/nunit/writing-tests/attributes/parallelizable.html and https://docs.nunit.org/articles/nunit/writing-tests/attributes/apartment.html:
- Can any STA test run in parallel with any other STA test, and does this happen by default?
- Can any STA test run in parallel with any MTA test, and does this happen by default?
MTA tests running in parallel with each other by default seems obvious, but it could be stated too.
Also surprising to me is NUnit creating five STA threads. At one point in the past, I had thought there was only one STA queue. I would be interested in knowing if we could document the queues that NUnit uses by default.

Research direction
Start with the linked parallelizable.html and apartment.html pages. Verify the default parallel behavior between STA and MTA tests, including the number and use of STA queues, then update the relevant documentation. Done means the default relationships and queue behavior answer each question explicitly.
