/*
 * In order for transformation animations to look good, they need to be
 * incremental and have some order to them (e.g., fade out hidden items,
 * then shrink to close the void left over). Chaining animations in this way can
 * be error-prone and wordy using just Tweener callbacks.
 *
 * The classes in this file help with this:
 *
 * - Task.  encapsulates schedulable work to be run in a specific scope.
 *
 * - ConsecutiveBatch.  runs a series of tasks in order and completes
 *                      when the last in the series finishes.
 *
 * - ConcurrentBatch.  runs a set of tasks at the same time and completes
 *                     when the last to finish completes.
 *
 * - Hold.  prevents a batch from completing the pending task until
 *          the hold is released.
 *
 * The tasks associated with a batch are specified in a list at batch
 * construction time as either task objects or plain functions.
 * Batches are task objects, themselves, so they can be nested.
 *
 * These classes aren't specific to GDM, but were found to be unintuitive and so
 * are not used elsewhere. These APIs may ultimately get dropped entirely and
 * replaced by something else.
