// A priority-based dispatcher of jobs. Dispatch order is by priority (highest
// first) and then FIFO. The dispatcher enforces limits on the number of running
// jobs. It never revokes a job once started. The job must call OnJobFinished
// once it finishes in order to dispatch further jobs.
//
// This class is NOT thread-safe which is enforced by the underlying
// non-thread-safe PriorityQueue. All operations are O(p) time for p priority
// levels. It is safe to execute any method, including destructor, from within
// Job::Start.

  // reserved for higher priorities, so they are limited to 10.
  // If there are already 24 jobs running, then only 6 more jobs can start. No
  // jobs at priority 1 or below can start. After one more job starts, no jobs
  // at priority 2 or below can start, since the remaining 5 slots are reserved
