//            |               |

//
// Client code references the outer nsIEventTarget which in turn references
// an inner object.  The inner object is also held alive by the observer
// service.
//
// If the outer object is dereferenced and destroyed, it will trigger a
// shutdown operation on the inner object.  Similarly if the observer
// service notifies that the browser is shutting down, then the inner
// object also starts shutting down.
//
// Once the queue has drained we unregister from the observer service.  If
// the outer object is already gone, then the inner object is free'd at this
// point.  If the outer object still exists then calls fall back to the
// ThrottledEventQueue's base target.  We just don't queue things
// any more.  The inner is then released once the outer object is released.
//
// Note, we must keep the inner object alive and attached to the observer
// service until the TaskQueue is fully shutdown and idle.  We must delay
// xpcom shutdown if the TaskQueue is in the middle of draining.
