           Previously, this method returned a global singleton
           `IOLoop`, in contrast with the per-thread `IOLoop` returned
           by `current()`. In nearly all cases the two were the same
           (when they differed, it was generally used from non-Tornado
           threads to communicate back to the main thread's `IOLoop`).
           This distinction is not present in `asyncio`, so in order
           to facilitate integration with that package `instance()`
           was changed to be an alias to `current()`. Applications
           using the cross-thread communications aspect of
           `instance()` should instead set their own global variable
           to point to the `IOLoop` they want to use.
