+// Abstracts executing runnables in order on an arbitrary event target. The
+// runnables dispatched to the TaskQueue will be executed in the order in which
+// they're received, and are guaranteed to not be executed concurrently.
+// They may be executed on different threads, and a memory barrier is used
+// to make this threadsafe for objects that aren't already threadsafe.
+//
+// Note, since a TaskQueue can also be converted to an nsIEventTarget using
+// WrapAsEventTarget() its possible to construct a hierarchy of TaskQueues.
+// Consider these three TaskQueues:
+//
+// TQ1 dispatches to the main thread
+// TQ2 dispatches to TQ1
+// TQ3 dispatches to TQ1
+//
+// This ensures there is only ever a single runnable from the entire chain on
+// the main thread. It also ensures that TQ2 and TQ3 only have a single
+// runnable in TQ1 at any time.
+//
+// This arrangement lets you prioritize work by dispatching runnables directly
+// to TQ1. You can issue many runnables for important work. Meanwhile the TQ2
+// and TQ3 work will always execute at most one runnable and then yield.
+//
+// A TaskQueue does not require explicit shutdown, however it provides a
+// BeginShutdown() method that places TaskQueue in a shut down state and returns
+// a promise that gets resolved once all pending tasks have completed
