/*
 * We often want to run tasks on a target that guarantees that events will never
 * run in parallel. There are various target types that achieve this - namely
 * nsIThread and TaskQueue. Note that nsIThreadPool (which implements
 * nsIEventTarget) does not have this property, so we do not want to use
 * nsIEventTarget for this purpose. This class encapsulates the specifics of
 * the structures we might use here and provides a consistent interface.
 *
 * At present, the supported AbstractThread implementations are TaskQueue,
 * AbstractThread::MainThread() and XPCOMThreadWrapper which can wrap any
 * nsThread.
 *
 * The primary use of XPCOMThreadWrapper is to allow any threads to provide
 * Direct Task dispatching which is similar (but not identical to) the microtask
 * semantics of JS promises. Instantiating a XPCOMThreadWrapper on the current
 * nsThread is sufficient to enable direct task dispatching.
 *
 * You shouldn't use pointers when comparing AbstractThread or nsIThread to
 * determine if you are currently on the thread, but instead use the
 * nsISerialEventTarget::IsOnCurrentThread() method.
