// The basic design is that we add an AsyncWaiter to the wait-list of the event.
// That AsyncWaiter has a pointer to MessageLoop, and a Task to be posted to it.
// The MessageLoop ends up running the task, which calls the delegate.
//
// Since the wait can be canceled, we have a thread-safe Flag object which is
// set when the wait has been canceled. At each stage in the above, we check the
// flag before going onto the next stage. Since the wait may only be canceled in
// the MessageLoop which runs the Task, we are assured that the delegate cannot
// be called after canceling...

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// A thread-safe, reference-counted, write-once flag.
