    // See http://webkit.org/b/89590 for more discussion.

    // One possible scenario when handling the function queue is as follows:
    // - RunLoop::performWork() is invoked with 1 function on the queue
    // - Handling that function results in 1 more function being enqueued
    // - Handling that one results in yet another being enqueued
    // - And so on
    //
    // In this situation one invocation of performWork() never returns so all other event sources are blocked.
    // By only handling up to the number of functions that were in the queue when performWork() is called
    // we guarantee to occasionally return from the run loop so other event sources will be allowed to spin.
