// CancelableTaskTracker posts tasks (in the form of a Closure) to a TaskRunner,
// and is able to cancel the task later if it's not needed anymore. On
// destruction, CancelableTaskTracker will cancel all tracked tasks.
//
// Each cancelable task can be associated with a reply (also a Closure). After
// the task is run on the TaskRunner, |reply| will be posted back to originating
// TaskRunner.
//
// NOTE:
//
// CancelableCallback (base/cancelable_callback.h) and WeakPtr binding are
// preferred solutions for canceling a task. However, they don't support
// cancelation from another thread. This is sometimes a performance critical
// requirement. E.g. We need to cancel database lookup task on DB thread when
// user changes inputed text. If it is performance critical to do a best effort
// cancelation of a task, then CancelableTaskTracker is appropriate, otherwise
// use one of the other mechanisms.
//
// THREAD-SAFETY:
//
// 1. CancelableTaskTracker objects are not thread safe. They must be created,
// used, and destroyed on the originating thread that posts the task. It's safe
// to destroy a CancelableTaskTracker while there are outstanding tasks. This is
// commonly used to cancel all outstanding tasks.
//
// 2. Both task and reply are deleted on the originating thread.
//
// 3. IsCanceledCallback is thread safe and can be run or deleted on any thread.
