///   History:
///     1.40: 2017-08-01
///       - Implemented IOmniTask.InvokeOnSelf method.

///       - Compiles with Delphi 10.2 Tokyo.
///     1.38a: 2017-03-28
///       - TOmniTaskExecutor now uses own 64-bit time function. DSiTimeGetTime64 cannot
///         be used for this purpose as its results cannot be compared across threads.

///       - Defined IOmniTaskControl.ProcessorGroup and .NUMANode.
///       - Added support for executing a task in a specific processor group or NUMA node.

///       - TOmniWorker message hooks introduced.
///     1.35: 2014-11-16
///       - IOmniTaskControl can wait on any number of comm handles and wait objects.
///         That enables support for >60 tasks in the OtlThreadPool.
///     1.34: 2014-11-03

///       - Refactored TOmniTaskExecutor.DispatchEvent a bit more.
///     1.31i: 2012-09-27
///       - Task controller implements method FilterMessage which allows the event
///         monitor to filter out internal messages.
///       - Removed TOmniTaskControlEventMonitor (no longer needed).
///     1.31h: 2012-09-24

///       - Bug fixed: It was not possible to change timer delay once it was created.
///         Big thanks to [Unspoken] for finding the bug.
///     1.31c: 2011-12-14
///       - Fixed race condition between TOmniTask.Execute and TOmniTask.Terminate.
///       - Under some circumstances ProcessMessage failed to rebuild handle
///         array before waiting which could cause 'invalid handle' error.
///     1.31b: 2011-11-08
///       - Fixed invalid "A call to an OS function failed" error in DispatchEvent.
///     1.31a: 2011-11-06
///       - Fixed wrong order in teardown sequence in TOmniTask.Execute. Great thanks to
///         [Anton Alisov] for providing a reproducible test case.
///     1.31: 2011-11-05
///       - Adapted to OtlCommon 1.24.

///       - Passes timer ID to timer proc if it accepts const TOmniValue parameter.
///     1.25: 2011-04-08
///       - IOmniTaskControl termination empties task message queue and calls appropriate
///         OnMessage handlers.
///     1.24: 2011-03-16
///       - Implemented IOmniTaskControl.Invoke(procedure) and
///         .Invoke(procedure const task: IOmniTask).

///     1.22a: 2010-09-20
///       - Changed the place where internal monitor is destroyed to prevent 'invalid

///       - Includes OTLOptions.inc.
///     1.21c: 2010-06-12
///       - TOmniTaskExecutor must always call Cleanup in case task was not executed.
///         (Issue #19, http://code.google.com/p/omnithreadlibrary/issues/detail?id=19).

///         terminated externally.
///     1.21: 2010-03-16
///       - Added support for multiple simultaneous timers. SetTimer takes additional
///         'timerID' parameter. The old SetTimer assumes timerID = 0.

///       - Internal message forwarders must be destroyed during task termination.
///     1.20: 2010-02-09
///       - Added IOmniTaskControl.OnMessage(msgID, handler).
///     1.19: 2010-02-03
///       - IOmniTaskControl and IOmniTask implement CancellationToken property.
///     1.18: 2010-02-02

///       - Added WithLock overload.
///     1.16: 2010-01-14

///     1.11: 2009-11-13
///       - Implemented automatic event monitor with methods IOmniTaskControl.OnMessage
///         and OnTerminated. Both support 'procedure of object' and
///         'reference to procedure' parameters.
///       - D2010 compatibility changes.
///     1.10: 2009-05-15
///       - Implemented IOmniTaskControl.SilentExceptions.
///     1.09: 2009-02-08

///     1.05a: 2008-11-17
///       - [Jamie] Fixed bug in TOmniTaskExecutor.Asy_SetTimerInt.
///     1.05: 2008-11-01

///         the specified amount of time.
///     1.04a: 2008-10-06
///       - IOmniTaskControl.Invoke modified to return IOmniTaskControl.
///     1.04: 2008-10-05
///       - Implemented IOmniTaskControl.Invoke (six overloads), used for string- and
///         pointer-based method dispatch (see demo 18 for more details and demo 19

///       - Implemented IOmniTaskControl.SetQueue, which can be used to increase (or
///         reduce) the size of the IOmniTaskControl<->IOmniTask communication queue.
///         This function must be called before .SetMonitor, .RemoveMonitor, .Run or
///         .Schedule.
///     1.03b: 2008-09-26

///         thread pool.
///     1.03: 2008-09-20
///       - Implemented IOmniTaskGroup.SendToAll. This should be looked at as a temporary
///         solution. IOmniTaskGroup should expose communication interface (just like
///         IOmniTask and IOmniTaskControl) but in this case it should be one-to-many
///         queue connecting IOmniTaskGroup's Comm to all tasks inside the group.
///     1.02: 2008-09-19
///       - Added enumerator to the IOmniTaskGroup interface.
///       - Implemented IOmniTaskGroup.RegisterAllCommWith and .UnregisterAllCommFrom.
///       - Bug fixed in TOmniTaskExecutor.Asy_DispatchMessages - program crashed if
///         communications unregistered inside task's own timer method.
///       - Setting timer interval resets timer countdown.
///     1.01: 2008-09-18
///       - Implemented SetTimer on the IOmniTask side.
///       - Bug fixed: IOmniTaskGroup.RunAll was not returning a result.
///     1.0a: 2008-08-29
///       - Bug fixed: .MsgWait was not functional.
///     1.0: 2008-08-26
///       - First official release.
