// A thread event is a simple primitive designed to be used by two (distinct)
// threads to communicate. The first thread 'waits' on the event, and then the
// second thread can trigger it at any time. Note that it is probably best that
// the waiting thread 'Reset' the event rather than the triggering thread. Indeed
// a usage pattern of:
// Reset();
// <do something to cause other thread to trigger>
// Wait();
// Is the best way to use this object.
