4 * DispatchTask represents an event processing task for the event queue.
5 * The lifecycle of this event is as follows:
6 *
7 * <ol>
8 * <li>The poster of the event invokes block() having enqueued this task. It may or may
9 * not actually block depending on the task's implementation.</li>
10 *
11 * <li>For each event generated, newDispatch is invoked to indicate an event
12 * will be posted.</li>
13 *
14 * <li>For each event generated, dispatched is invoked to indicate the event has
15 * been sent.</li>
16 *
17 * <li>When the event queue (as to the event senders) has finished generating events it
18 * invokes enableResolve which for suitable implementations indicates that the blocker
19 * can be released at the appropriate moment.</li>
20 * </ol>
