// architecture: Sequence -> Task -> TaskRunner -> Sequence -> ...
// This is okay so long as the other owners of Sequence (PriorityQueue and
// SchedulerWorker in alternation and
// SchedulerWorkerPoolImpl::SchedulerWorkerDelegateImpl::GetWork()
// temporarily) keep running it (and taking Tasks from it as a result). A
// dangling reference cycle would only occur should they release their reference
// to it while it's not empty. In other words, it is only correct for them to
// release it after PopTask() returns false to indicate it was made empty by
// that call (in which case the next PushTask() will return true to indicate to
// the caller that the Sequence should be re-enqueued for execution).
