// the operation to File using a TaskRunner.
//
// This class performs automatic proxying to close the underlying file at
// destruction.
//
// The TaskRunner is in charge of any sequencing of the operations, but a single
// operation can be proxied at a time, regardless of the use of a callback.
// In other words, having a sequence like
//
//   proxy.Write(...);
//   delete proxy;
//
// will keep the file valid during the Write operation but will cause the file
// to be closed in the current thread, when the operation finishes. If Close is
// called right away after Write, the second call will fail because there is an
// operation in progress.
