// When we're blocked in a Send(), we need to process incoming synchronous
// messages right away because it could be blocking our reply (either
// directly from the same object we're calling, or indirectly through one or
// more other channels).  That means that in SyncContext's OnMessageReceived,
// we need to process sync message right away if we're blocked.  However a
// simple check isn't sufficient, because the listener thread can be in the
// process of calling Send.
// To work around this, when SyncChannel filters a sync message, it sets
// an event that the listener thread waits on during its Send() call.  This
// allows us to dispatch incoming sync messages when blocked.  The race
// condition is handled because if Send is in the process of being called, it
// will check the event.  In case the listener thread isn't sending a message,
// we queue a task on the listener thread to dispatch the received messages.
// The messages are stored in this queue object that's shared among all
// SyncChannel objects on the same thread (since one object can receive a
// sync message while another one is blocked).
