+ *
+ * Asynchronous APIs that proxy to another thread or to the chrome process and
+ * back may find it useful to return a pledge to callers who then use
+ * pledge.Then(func) to specify a lambda function to be invoked with the result
+ * later back on this same thread.
+ *
+ * Callers will enjoy that lambdas allow "capturing" of local variables, much
+ * like closures in JavaScript (safely by-copy by default).
+ *
+ * Callers will also enjoy that they do not need to be thread-safe (their code
+ * runs on the same thread after all).
+ *
+ * Advantageously, pledges are non-threadsafe by design (because locking and
+ * event queues are redundant). This means none of the lambdas you pass in,
+ * or variables you lambda-capture into them, need be threasafe or support
+ * threadsafe refcounting. After all, they'll run later on the same thread.

+/* media::CoatCheck - There and back again. Park an object in exchange for an id.
+ *
+ * A common problem with calling asynchronous functions that do work on other
+ * threads or processes is how to pass in a heap object for use once the
+ * function completes, without requiring that object to have threadsafe
+ * refcounting, contain mutexes, be marshaled, or leak if things fail
+ * (or worse, intermittent use-after-free because of lifetime issues).
+ *
+ * One solution is to set up a coat-check on the caller side, park your object
+ * in exchange for an id, and send the id. Common in IPC, but equally useful
+ * for same-process thread-hops, because by never leaving the thread there's
+ * no need for objects to be threadsafe or use threadsafe refcounting. E.g.
+ *
+ * class FooDoer
+ * {
+ * CoatCheck<Foo> mOutstandingFoos;
+ *
+ * public:
+ * void DoFoo()
+ * {
+ * RefPtr<Foo> foo = new Foo();
+ * uint32_t requestId = mOutstandingFoos.Append(*foo);
+ * sChild->SendFoo(requestId);
+ * }
+ *
+ * void RecvFooResponse(uint32_t requestId)
+ * {
+ * RefPtr<Foo> foo = mOutstandingFoos.Remove(requestId);
+ * if (foo) {
+ * // use foo
+ * }
+ * }
+ * };
+ *
+ * If you read media::Pledge earlier, here's how this is useful for pledges:
+ *
+ * class FooGetter
+ * {
+ * CoatCheck<Pledge<Foo>> mOutstandingPledges;
+ *
+ * public:
+ * already_addRefed<Pledge<Foo>> GetFooAsynchronously()
+ * {
+ * RefPtr<Pledge<Foo>> p = new Pledge<Foo>();
+ * uint32_t requestId = mOutstandingPledges.Append(*p);
+ * sChild->SendFoo(requestId);
+ * return p.forget();
+ * }
+ *
+ * void RecvFooResponse(uint32_t requestId, const Foo& fooResult)
+ * {
+ * RefPtr<Foo> p = mOutstandingPledges.Remove(requestId);
+ * if (p) {
+ * p->Resolve(fooResult);
+ * }
+ * }
+ * };
+ *
+ * This helper is currently optimized for very small sets (i.e. not optimized).
+ * It is also not thread-safe as the whole point is to stay on the same thread.

+ * (or owning smart-pointers to such objects) refcountable.
