 * This class represents a fiber, which is a light weight sort of thread which

 * in and out of a single actual thread of execution.

 * To define your own threads, create a subclass of Fiber and override its
 * main() function to do what you want your fiber to do. You can start it by
 * calling its run() method which will stop your execution and start the other
 * fiber in your place.
 *
 * If your main() function ends, that fiber will automatically switch to either
 * the primary fiber, or to a particular fiber you specified at construction
 * time, and your fiber is considered finished.
