/**
 * A <em>synchronizing</em> command can be used to coordinate the execution of
 * the {@link Thread thread} that <em>creates</em> the <em>synchronizing</em>
 * command (Thread A, the "primary" thread) with another {@link Thread thread}
 * that <em>executes</em> the <em>synchronizing</em> command (Thread B, the
 * "secondary" thread).
 * <p>
 * Typically, Thread A dispatches {@Command commands} to a
 * {@link org.eclipse.jpt.common.utility.command.CommandContext command
 * context}) that executes the {@Command commands} asynchronously on Thread B.
 * A <em>synchronizing</em> command allows Thread A to
 * dispatch a <em>synchronizing</em> command to Thread B and suspend until
 * the {@link #command} held by the <em>synchronizing</em> command
 * has executed (on <em>Thread B</em>). (This can be useful when Thread B is the
 * UI {@link Thread thread} and the {@link #command} must modify a UI widget.)
 * Once the {@link #command} held by the <em>synchronizing</em> command has
 * executed, Thread B suspends and notifies Thread A to proceed. Thread A can
 * optionally execute yet another {@Command command} (on <em>Thread A</em>).
 * Once Thread A has executed its command, it must notify Thread B that it may
 * proceed (now independently of Thread A).
 * <p>
 * <strong>Timeouts:</strong> If Thread A specifies a time-limit
 * ({@link #waitForExecution(long)}) for its suspension, and a timeout occurs
 * (i.e. it takes too long for the <em>synchronizing</em> command to begin
 * executing or its {@link #command} takes too long to execute),
 * the {@link #command} held by the <em>synchronizing</em> command will
 * <em>still be executed</em>; but Thread A will not be notified when the
 * execution is complete. [It seems reasonable that the {@link #command} always
 * execute, since, if it is too long-running, it will execute anyway....]
 * <p>
 * <strong>Synchronous Execution:</strong> If the <em>synchronizing</em> command
 * is <em>created</em> and <em>executed</em> on the same {@link Thread thread},
 * the assumption is Thread A and Thread B are the same {@link Thread thread}
 * and all {@Command commands} are executing synchronously (e.g. during testing
 * or "batch" executing).
 * In that situation, the <em>synchronizing</em> command will <em>not</em>
 * suspend its {@link Thread thread}.
