   This file implements the public interfaces of the Weaver and the Job class.
   It should be the only include file necessary to use the ThreadWeaver
   library.

/** The Weaver class provides the public implementation of the WeaverInterface.

        Weaver provides a static instance that can be used to perform jobs in
        threads without managing a weaver object. The static instance will
        only be created when it is first accessed. Also, Weaver objects will
        create the threads only when the first jobs are queued. Therefore, the
        creation of a Weaver object is a rather cheap operation.

        The WeaverImpl class provides two parts of API - one for the threads
        that are handled by it, and one for the ThreadWeaver users
        (application developers). To separate those two different API parts,
        Weaver only provides the interface supposed to be used by developers
        of multithreaded applications.

        Weaver creates and destroys WeaverImpl objects. It hides the
        implementation details of the WeaverImpl class. It is strongly
        discouraged to use the WeaverImpl class in programs, as its API will
        be changed without notice.
        Also, Weaver provides a factory method for this purpose that can be overloaded to create
        derived WeaverImpl objects.
