/// Defines the traits structures for thread-safety of a completion callback
/// factory. We provide thread-safe and non-thread-safe version. The thread-safe
/// version is always correct (if you follow the thread usage rules of the
/// callback factory), but if you know your object will only be used on one
/// thread, you can uses the non-thread-safe version.
///
/// The traits defines three nested classes to perform reference counting,
/// locks, and scoped locking.

/// thread-friendly." It will allow you to create completion callbacks from
/// background threads and post them to another thread to run.
///
/// Care still must be taken to ensure that the completion callbacks are
/// executed on the same thread that the factory is destroyed on to avoid a
/// race on destruction.
///
/// Implementation note: this uses a lock instead of atomic add instructions.
/// The number of platforms we need to support right now makes atomic
/// operations unwieldy for this case that we don't actually use that often.
