/************************************************** Deferred utils ***/

// Deferred worker pool...
//
// 		makeDeferredPool([size][, paused]) -> pool
//
//
// This will create and return a pooled queue of deferred workers.
//
//
// The pool can be in one of the folowing states:
//
// 	- filling
// 		This state prevents .depleted() from triggering until the pool 
// 		exits the filling state.
// 		This helps us to prevent premature depletion of the pool in 
// 		cases where the queue is depleted faster than it is being filled.
//
// 	- paused
// 		This state prevents any new queued workers from starting.
//
//
// Public interface:
//
// 		.enqueue(obj, func, args) -> deferred
// 			Add a worker to queue.
// 			If the pool is not filled and not paused, this will run the
// 			worker right away.
// 			If the pool is full the worker is added to queue (FIFO) and
// 			ran in its turn.
//
// 		.dropQueue() -> pool
// 			Drop the queued workers.
// 			NOTE: this will not stop the already running workers.
//
//
//		.filling()
//			Enter the filling state
//
//		.doneFilling()
//			Exit the filling state
//			NOTE: this will trigger .depleted() if at the time of call
//				both the pool and queue are empty.
//
//
// 		.pause() -> pool
// 			Pause the queue.
// 			NOTE: this also has a second form: .pause(func), see below.
//
// 		.resume() -> pool
// 			Restart the queue.
//
//
//		.isFilling() -> bool
//			Test if the pool is being filled -- filling state.
//
// 		.isRunning() -> bool
// 			Test if any workers are running in the pool.
// 			NOTE: this will return false ONLY when the pool is empty.
//
// 		.isPaused() -> bool
// 			Test if pool is in a paused state.
// 			NOTE: some workers may sill be finishing up so if you want
// 					to test whether any workers are still running use
// 					.isRunning()
//
//
// Event handler/callback registration:
//
// 		.on(evt, func) -> pool
// 			Register a handler (func) for an event (evt).
//
// 		.off(evt[, func]) -> pool
// 			Remove a handler (func) form and event (evt).
// 			NOTE: if func is omitted, remove all handlers from the given
// 					event...
//
// 		.progress(func) -> pool
// 			Register a progress handler.
// 			The handler is called after each worker is done and will get
// 			passed:
// 				- workers done count
// 				- workers total count
// 			Short hand for:
// 				.on('progress', func) -> pool
// 			NOTE: the total number of workers can change as new workers
// 					are added or the queue is cleared...
// 			
// 		.fail(func) -> pool
// 			Register a worker fail handler.
// 			The handler is called when a worker goes into the fail state.
// 			This will get passed:
// 				- workers done count
// 				- workers total count
// 			Short hand for:
// 				.on('fail', func) -> pool
// 			NOTE: this will not stop the execution of other handlers.
//
// 		.pause(func) -> pool
// 			Register a pause handler.
// 			This handler is called after the last worker finishes when 
// 			the queue is paused.
// 			Short hand for:
// 				.on('progress', func) -> pool
//
// 		.resume(func) -> pool
// 			Short hand for:
// 				.on('resume', func) -> pool
//
// 		.depleted(func) -> pool
// 			Register a depleted pool handler.
// 			The handler will get called when the queue and pool are empty
// 			(depleted) and the last worker is done.
// 			Short hand for:
// 				.on('deplete', func) -> pool
