+    Instead of XJob the implementation of this interface
+    must be aware, that execution can be made real asynchronous (e.g. by using
+    threads). Because the environment wish to have creation and using of threads
+    under control, it's not allowed for a real job implementation to use such mechanism
+    by itself. The outside code decide, if it's possible and how it can be made
+    asynchronous. In some special cases it can be, that asynchronous jobs will be executed
+    synchronously.
