+ * 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 TaskQueue. 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.
+ *
+ * At present, the supported AbstractThread implementations are TaskQueue,
+ * AbstractThread::MainThread() and XPCOMThreadWrapper which can wrap any
+ * nsThread.
+ *
+ * The primary use of XPCOMThreadWrapper is to allow any threads to provide
+ * Direct Task dispatching which is similar (but not identical to) the microtask
+ * semantics of JS promises. Instantiating a XPCOMThreadWrapper on the current
+ * nsThread is sufficient to enable direct task dispatching.
+ *
+ * You shouldn't use pointers when comparing AbstractThread or nsIThread to
+ * determine if you are currently on the thread, but instead use the
+ * nsISerialEventTarget::IsOnCurrentThread() method.
