Research direction

The issue concerns the Dispatch overlay in the libdispatch component, but it names no files, tests, or specific APIs. Start by locating the overlay and reviewing its existing public documentation, then clarify the missing coverage with maintainers. Done means the requested Dispatch overlay usage is documented, with scope agreed before implementation.
