46 * The WORK ENQUEUED state guarantees that the worker thread will inspect the queue again at
47 * least once. Only after looking at the queue will it go back to WORKING, and then,
48 * eventually, to NOT WORKING. After enqueuing work the main thread transitions the state
49 * to WORK ENQUEUED. Signalling the worker thread to wake up is only necessary if the old
50 * state was NOT WORKING.
