+// WARNING: You should probably be using Thread (thread.h) instead.  Thread is
+//          Chrome's message-loop based Thread abstraction, and if you are a
+//          thread running in the browser, there will likely be assumptions
+//          that your thread will have an associated message loop.
+//
+// This is a simple thread interface that backs to a native operating system
+// thread.  You should use this only when you want a thread that does not have
+// an associated MessageLoop.  Unittesting is the best example of this.
+//
+// The simplest interface to use is DelegateSimpleThread, which will create
+// a new thread, and execute the Delegate's virtual Run() in this new thread
+// until it has completed, exiting the thread.
+//
+// NOTE: You *MUST* call Join on the thread to clean up the underlying thread
+// resources.  You are also responsible for destructing the SimpleThread object.
+// It is invalid to destroy a SimpleThread while it is running, or without
+// Start() having been called (and a thread never created).  The Delegate
+// object should live as long as a DelegateSimpleThread.
+//
+// Thread Safety: A SimpleThread is not completely thread safe.  It is safe to
+// access it from the creating thread or from the newly created thread.  This
+// implies that the creator thread should be the thread that calls Join.
+//
+// Example:
+//   class MyThreadRunner : public DelegateSimpleThread::Delegate { ... };
+//   MyThreadRunner runner;
+//   DelegateSimpleThread thread(&runner, "good_name_here");
+//   thread.Start();
+//   // Start will return after the Thread has been successfully started and
+//   // initialized.  The newly created thread will invoke runner->Run(), and
+//   // run until it returns.
+//   thread.Join();  // Wait until the thread has exited.  You *MUST* Join!
+//   // The SimpleThread object is still valid, however you may not call Join
+//   // or Start again.
