** indication of failure. The reason for the failure can be retrieved
** by calling PR_GetError().
**
** PR_MW_PENDING The operation is still pending. None of the other
** fields of the object are currently valid.
** PR_MW_SUCCESS The operation is complete and it was successful.
** PR_MW_FAILURE The operation failed. The reason for the failure
** can be retrieved by calling PR_GetError().
** PR_MW_TIMEOUT The amount of time allowed for by the object's
** 'timeout' field has expired w/o the operation
** otherwise coming to closure.
** PR_MW_INTERRUPT The operation was cancelled, either by the client
** calling PR_CancelWaitFileDesc() or destroying the
** entire wait group (PR_DestroyWaitGroup()).

** Subsequent calls to the enumerator must pass in the result of the
** previous call. The enumeration end is signaled by the runtime returning
** a NULL as the result.
**

** an enumeration. The effect is that the enumeration may have to be
** "reset" and that may result in duplicates being returned from the
** enumeration.

** keeping any state, so there are no issues in that regard.
