* 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
* and AbstractThread::MainThread. If you add support for another thread that is
* not the MainThread, you'll need to figure out how to make it unique such that
* comparing AbstractThread pointers is equivalent to comparing nsIThread pointers.
