+/** \brief A fetch subprocess.
+ *
+ * A worker process is responsible for one stage of the fetch. This
+ * class encapsulates the communications protocol between the master
+ * process and the worker, from the master end.
+ *
+ * Each worker is intrinsically placed on two linked lists. The
+ * Queue list (maintained in the #NextQueue variable) is maintained
+ * by the pkgAcquire::Queue class; it represents the set of workers
+ * assigned to a particular queue. The Acquire list (maintained in
+ * the #NextAcquire variable) is maintained by the pkgAcquire class;
+ * it represents the set of active workers for a particular
+ * pkgAcquire object.
+ *
+ * \todo Like everything else in the Acquire system, this has way too
+ * many protected items.
+ *
+ * \sa pkgAcqMethod, pkgAcquire::Item, pkgAcquire
