<p class="para">
The <strong class="classname">pht\Thread</strong> class abstracts away a native thread. It
has an internal task queue, where the methods
<span class="methodname"><a href="pht-thread.addClassTask.html" class="methodname">pht\Thread::addClassTask()</a></span>,
<span class="methodname"><a href="pht-thread.addFunctionTask.html" class="methodname">pht\Thread::addFunctionTask()</a></span>, and
<span class="methodname"><a href="pht-thread.addFileTask.html" class="methodname">pht\Thread::addFileTask()</a></span> push new tasks onto this
queue. Invoking the <span class="methodname"><a href="pht-thread.start.html" class="methodname">pht\Thread::start()</a></span> method will
cause the new thread to be spawned, where it will then begin working
through the task queue. A thread may be reused for any number of tasks.
