49 * The WORK ENQUEUED state guarantees that the worker thread will inspect the queue again at

51 * eventually, to NOT WORKING. After enqueuing work the main thread transitions the state
52 * to WORK ENQUEUED. Signalling the worker thread to wake up is only necessary if the old
53 * state was NOT WORKING.
