Class Notifier

└ Immutable

└ Object

A condition variable which helps multiple Threads coordinate their scheduling. Notifier is not necessary from within safe Frost code; normally you would use MessageQueue to coordinate between threads. Notifier generally only comes into play when Locks are necessary due to unsafe threading.
