Returns the current thread's `IOLoop`.

        If an `IOLoop` is currently running or has been marked as
        current by `make_current`, returns that instance.  If there is
        no current `IOLoop` and ``instance`` is true, creates one.

        .. versionchanged:: 4.1
           Added ``instance`` argument to control the fallback to
           `IOLoop.instance()`.
        .. versionchanged:: 5.0
           On Python 3, control of the current `IOLoop` is delegated
           to `asyncio`, with this and other methods as pass-through accessors.
           The ``instance`` argument now controls whether an `IOLoop`
           is created automatically when there is none, instead of
           whether we fall back to `IOLoop.instance()` (which is now
           an alias for this method). ``instance=False`` is deprecated,
           since even if we do not create an `IOLoop`, this method
           may initialize the asyncio loop.
