 * 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.
