/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// TASK
//
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Task is a state machine infrastructure.  States are pushed forward by
// pushing forwards a TaskRunner that holds on to all Tasks.  The purpose
// of Task is threefold:
//
// (1) It manages ongoing work on the UI thread.  Multitasking without
// threads, keeping it easy, keeping it real. :-)  It does this by
// organizing a set of states for each task.  When you return from your
// Process*() function, you return an integer for the next state.  You do
// not go onto the next state yourself.  Every time you enter a state,
// you check to see if you can do anything yet.  If not, you return
// STATE_BLOCKED.  If you _could_ do anything, do not return
// STATE_BLOCKED - even if you end up in the same state, return
// STATE_mysamestate.  When you are done, return STATE_DONE and then the
// task will self-delete sometime afterwards.
//
// (2) It helps you avoid all those reentrancy problems when you chain
// too many triggers on one thread.  Basically if you want to tell a task
// to process something for you, you feed your task some information and
// then you Wake() it.  Don't tell it to process it right away.  If it
// might be working on something as you send it information, you may want
// to have a queue in the task.
//
// (3) Finally it helps manage parent tasks and children.  If a parent
// task gets aborted, all the children tasks are too.  The nice thing
// about this, for example, is if you have one parent task that
// represents, say, and Xmpp connection, then you can spawn a whole bunch
// of infinite lifetime child tasks and now worry about cleaning them up.
//  When the parent task goes to STATE_DONE, the task engine will make
// sure all those children are aborted and get deleted.
//
// Notice that Task has a few built-in states, e.g.,
//
// STATE_INIT - the task isn't running yet
// STATE_START - the task is in its first state
// STATE_RESPONSE - the task is in its second state
// STATE_DONE - the task is done
//
// STATE_ERROR - indicates an error - we should audit the error code in
// light of any usage of it to see if it should be improved.  When I
// first put down the task stuff I didn't have a good sense of what was
// needed for Abort and Error, and now the subclasses of Task will ground
// the design in a stronger way.
//
// STATE_NEXT - the first undefined state number.  (like WM_USER) - you
// can start defining more task states there.
//
// When you define more task states, just override Process(int state) and
// add your own switch statement.  If you want to delegate to
// Task::Process, you can effectively delegate to its switch statement.
// No fancy method pointers or such - this is all just pretty low tech,
// easy to debug, and fast.
//
// Also notice that Task has some primitive built-in timeout functionality.
//
// A timeout is defined as "the task stays in STATE_BLOCKED longer than
// timeout_seconds_."
//
// Descendant classes can override this behavior by calling the
// various protected methods to change the timeout behavior.  For
// instance, a descendand might call SuspendTimeout() when it knows
// that it isn't waiting for anything that might timeout, but isn't
// yet in the STATE_DONE state.
