// SerialWorker executes a job on WorkerPool serially -- **once at a time**.
// On |WorkNow|, a call to |DoWork| is scheduled on the WorkerPool. Once it
// completes, |OnWorkFinished| is called on the origin thread.
// If |WorkNow| is called (1 or more times) while |DoWork| is already under way,
// |DoWork| will be called once: after current |DoWork| completes, before a
// call to |OnWorkFinished|.
//
// This behavior is designed for updating a result after some trigger, for
// example reading a file once FilePathWatcher indicates it changed.
//
// Derived classes should store results of work done in |DoWork| in dedicated
// fields and read them in |OnWorkFinished| which is executed on the origin
// thread. This avoids the need to template this class.
//
// This implementation avoids locking by using the |state_| member to ensure
// that |DoWork| and |OnWorkFinished| cannot execute in parallel.
//
// TODO(szym): update to WorkerPool::PostTaskAndReply once available.
