 * 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 MediaTaskQueue. 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.
 *
 * Use AbstractThread::Create() to instantiate an AbstractThread. Note that
 * if you use different types than the ones currently supported (MediaTaskQueue
 * and nsIThread), you'll need to implement the relevant guts in
 * AbstractThread.cpp to avoid linkage errors.
