/** The TaskThrottler prevents update event overruns. It is used in cases where
* you're sending an async message and waiting for a reply. You need to call
* PostTask to queue a task and TaskComplete when you get a response.
*
* The call to TaskComplete will run the recent task posted since the last
* request was sent, if any. This means that at any time there can be at most 1
* outstanding request being processed and at most 1 queued behind it.
*
* This is used in the context of repainting a scrollable region. While another
* process is painting you might get several updates from the UI thread but when
* the paint is complete you want to send the most recent.
