// This class is typically used for communicating between the main and worker
// threads. The main thread calls Post() and the worker thread calls Receive().
//
// For this class a message is an object of arbitrary type T. Notice that
// typically there must be some special message indicating that the thread
// should terminate as there is no other way to gracefully shutdown a thread
// waiting on the message queue.
