/**
* PostMessage() asynchronously invokes any listeners for message events on
* the DOM element for the given module instance. A call to PostMessage()
* will not block while the message is processed.
*
* @param[in] instance A PP_Instance identifying one instance
* of a module.
* @param[in] message A PP_Var containing the data to be sent to
* JavaScript.
* Message can have a numeric, boolean, or string value; arrays and
* dictionaries are not yet supported. Ref-counted var types are copied, and
* are therefore not shared between the module instance and the browser.
*
* Listeners for message events in JavaScript code will receive an object
* conforming to the HTML 5 MessageEvent interface.
* Specifically, the value of message will be contained as a property called
* data in the received MessageEvent.
*
* This messaging system is similar to the system used for listening for
* messages from Web Workers. Refer to
* http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-workers/current-work/ for
* further information.
*
* Example:
*
* @code
*
*
*
*
*
*
* @endcode
*
* The module instance then invokes PostMessage() as follows:
*
* @code
*
* char hello_world[] = "Hello world!";
* PP_Var hello_var = ppb_var_interface->VarFromUtf8(instance,
* hello_world,
* sizeof(hello_world));
* ppb_messaging_interface->PostMessage(instance, hello_var); // Copies var.
* ppb_var_interface->Release(hello_var);
*
* @endcode
*
* The browser will pop-up an alert saying "Hello world!"
