The Worker class

INTRODUCTION
Worker Threads have a persistent context, as such should be used over Threads in most cases. When a Worker is started, the run method will be executed, but the Thread will not leave until one of the following conditions are met: othe Worker goes out of scope (no more references remain) othe programmer calls shutdown othe script dies This means the programmer can reuse the context throughout execution; placing objects on the stack of the Worker will cause the Worker to execute the stacked objects run method. Warning The programmer must retain references to stacked objects until they are executed or unstacked; the Pool class provides a higher level abstraction of the Worker functionality and manages references for the programmer.
