// This is the preferred interface to post tasks to the TaskScheduler.
//
// To post a simple one-off task with default traits:
//     PostTask(FROM_HERE, Bind(...));
//
// To post a high priority one-off task to respond to a user interaction:
//     PostTaskWithTraits(
//         FROM_HERE,
//         TaskTraits().WithPriority(TaskPriority::USER_BLOCKING),
//         Bind(...));
//
// To post tasks that must run in sequence with default traits:
//     scoped_refptr<SequencedTaskRunner> task_runner =
//         CreateSequencedTaskRunnerWithTraits(TaskTraits());
//     task_runner.PostTask(FROM_HERE, Bind(...));
//     task_runner.PostTask(FROM_HERE, Bind(...));
//
// To post tasks that may block, must run in sequence and can be skipped on
// shutdown:
//     scoped_refptr<SequencedTaskRunner> task_runner =
//         CreateSequencedTaskRunnerWithTraits(
//             TaskTraits().MayBlock().WithShutdownBehavior(
//                 TaskShutdownBehavior::SKIP_ON_SHUTDOWN));
//     task_runner.PostTask(FROM_HERE, Bind(...));
//     task_runner.PostTask(FROM_HERE, Bind(...));
//
// The default traits apply to tasks that:
//     (1) don't block (ref. MayBlock() and WithBaseSyncPrimitives()),
//     (2) prefer inheriting the current priority to specifying their own, and
//     (3) can either block shutdown or be skipped on shutdown
//         (TaskScheduler implementation is free to choose a fitting default).
// Explicit traits must be specified for tasks for which these loose
// requirements are not sufficient.
//
// Tasks posted through functions below will run on threads owned by the
// registered TaskScheduler (i.e. not on the main thread). Tasks posted through
// functions below with a delay may be coalesced (i.e. delays may be adjusted to
// reduce the number of wakeups and hence power consumption).
//
// Prerequisite: A TaskScheduler must have been registered for the current
// process via TaskScheduler::SetInstance() before the functions below are
// valid. This is typically done during the initialization phase in each
// process. If your code is not running in that phase, you most likely don't
// have to worry about this. You will encounter DCHECKs or nullptr dereferences
// if this is violated. For tests, prefer base::test::ScopedTaskScheduler.
