/// \class ofThread
/// \brief A threaded base class with a built in mutex for convenience.
///
/// Users can extend this base class by public inheritance like this:
///
///     class MyThreadedClass: public ofThread
///     {
///         public:
///         /// ...
///         void threadedFunction()
///         {
///             while(isThreadRunning())
///             {
///                 /// Threaded function here.
///             }
///         }
///     };
///
/// ofThread is a convenient wrapper for Poco::Thread, Poco::Runnable and
/// Poco::Mutex.  It represents a simplified (sometimes overly simplified -
/// or simplified in ways that might not make sense for your project)
/// pathway for quickly writing threaded classes.  Poco::Runnable represents
/// a class that can be "run" via its void run() method.  Poco::Thread is
/// able to spawn a thread and "run" the contents of a class that extends
/// the Poco::Runnable interface (which ofThread does).  Poco::FastMutex,
/// (aka ofMutex) is a "mutual exclusion" object that prevents two threads
/// from accessing the same data at the same time.  It is important to know
/// that Poco::FastMutex (aka ofMutex) is not "recursive" while Poco::Mutex
/// is. This means that if the same thread attempts to lock a thread while
/// it ALREADY has a lock on the mutex, the program will lock up and go
/// nowhere.  Thus, it is important that ofThread subclasses carefully
/// their use of the mutex.  Currently ofThread does not lock its own mutex
/// at any point (e.g. ofThread's internal variables are not thread safe).
/// This is a somewhat dangerous convenience that is (theoretically)
/// supposed to make it easier for subclasses to avoid the recursive mutex
/// "problem". The situation that arises from two threads simultanously
/// reading or writing from the same shared data (shared data
/// occupies the same physical location in memory) leads to something
/// called a "race condition", which can lead to deadlocks.
/// A deadlock is as bad as it sounds.  It means your program
/// just stops.  ofMutex prevents race conditions, deadlocks and crashes by
/// permitting only one thread access to shared data at a time.  When using
/// mutexes to protect data, the trick is to always be sure to unlock the
/// mutex when finished.  This problem can often be avoided by using
/// an Poco::FastMutex::ScopedLock (aka ofScopedLock).  See the
/// the documentation for more information.  Finally, there are many cases
/// where it might make more sense to use Poco::Thread, Poco::Runnable and
/// Poco::FastMutex directly rather than using ofThread.  Further, cross
/// platform thread management will be alleviated with the std::thread
/// support library included with C++11.
///
/// Uncaught Exceptions throw from within ofThread will cause the thread to stop
/// and the Exception will be delivered to the default ofBaseThreadErrorHandler.
/// The ofBaseThreadErrorHandler will print the exception details, if available.
/// The ofBaseThreadErrorHandler offers no opportunity to take corrective action
/// and only allows the user to receive more valuable debugging information
/// about the uncaught exception.  Users should design ofThread subclasses to
/// catch and respond to all anticipated exceptions.
