/**
* An FXTaskGroup manages a number of tasks, executing on the associated FXThreadPool.
* In a typical use, an FXTaskGroup is constructed on the stack of the calling function.
* If an explicit FXThreadPool is passed to the constructor of the FXTaskGroup, this is
* the FXThreadPool that will be used to execute the tasks.  Otherwise, an instance of
* FXThreadPool will be located through a thread-local variable from the calling thread.
* This thread-local variable will be set if the calling thread is a worker thread from
* the FXThreadPool, or is the thread that called start() on the FXThreadPool.
* Tasks managed by the FXTaskGroup may be started at any time during the FXTaskGroup's
* lifetime.  However, the FXTaskGroup can not be destroyed until the last task in the
* group has finished execution: the FXTaskGroup's destructor will wait until all tasks
* (if any) have finished executing.
* The calling thread can enter the task-processing loop in the FXThreadPool; it returns
* when either the tasks from this FXTaskGroup have been completed (count reaching zero),
* or when the task-queue is empty (in this case another thread may still be working on
* a task from the FXTaskGroup). Thus, the calling thread should block on the completion
* semaphore to ensure all tasks are completed.
