+
+        If you need to notify certain events to external components, you usually should
+        not do this while you have mutexes locked, to prevent multi-threading issues.
+
+        However, you do not always have complete control over all mutex guards on the stack.
+        If, in such a case, the listener notification is one-way, you can decide to do it
+        asynchronously.
+
+        The ->AsyncEventNotifier helps you to process such events asynchronously. Every
+        event is tied to an ->IEventProcessor which is responsible for processing it.
+
+        The AsyncEventNotifier is implemented as a thread itself, which sleeps as long as there are no
+        events in the queue. As soon as you add an event, the thread is woken up, processes the event,
+        and sleeps again.

+            finished processing the current event. If you call it from the notification thread
