/**
 * A timer facility which protects against out-of-memory errors.  Like
 * <code>java.util.Timer</code>, tasks are scheduled for future execution in a
 * background thread, either for one-time execution, or repeated execution at
 * regular intervals.
 * <p>
 * Each <code>ProtectedTimer</code> object launches a single background
 * thread on which all of the timer's tasks are executed sequentially.  If
 * tasks are not scheduled to repeat, <code>schedulingDone()</code> should be
 * invoked after all required tasks has been scheduled.  This will cause the
 * background thread stop after all tasks has been completed or cancelled.
 * Otherwise the background thread will continue running indefinitely (for a
 * non-daemon thread) or until the JVM exits (for a daemon thread).
 * <p>
 * This implementation is protected from out of memory errors.  If an
 * <code>OutOfMemoryError</code> is thrown on the background thread, it is
 * caught and logged if possible, but processing is allowed to continue.
 * If a task is running at the time of the error, there is no guarantee it has
 * completed its work (protected tasks themselves should handle out of memory
 * errors in a way appropriate to their implementations).  The existing
 * schedule is honored, however (to the extent possible), since the background
 * thread keeps running.
 * <p>
 * This class is thread-safe:  multiple threads can share a single
 * <code>ProtectedTimer</code> object without the need for external
 * synchronization.
