///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// OVERVIEW:
//
//   A thread-safe container for a list of observers.
//   This is similar to the observer_list (see observer_list.h), but it
//   is more robust for multi-threaded situations.
//
//   The following use cases are supported:
//    * Observers can register for notifications from any thread.
//      Callbacks to the observer will occur on the same thread where
//      the observer initially called AddObserver() from.
//    * Any thread may trigger a notification via Notify().
//    * Observers can remove themselves from the observer list inside
//      of a callback.
//    * If one thread is notifying observers concurrently with an observer
//      removing itself from the observer list, the notifications will
//      be silently dropped.
//
//   The drawback of the threadsafe observer list is that notifications
//   are not as real-time as the non-threadsafe version of this class.
//   Notifications will always be done via PostTask() to another thread,
//   whereas with the non-thread-safe observer_list, notifications happen
//   synchronously and immediately.
//
//   IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
//   The ObserverListThreadSafe maintains an ObserverList for each thread
//   which uses the ThreadSafeObserver.  When Notifying the observers,
//   we simply call PostTask to each registered thread, and then each thread
//   will notify its regular ObserverList.
