//______________________________________________________________________________
//
// Abstract base-class for delivering cross-thread requests into ROOT
// main thread.
// Sub-classes must implement the Act() method.
// Two methods are available to request execution:
//
// - ShootRequest()
//     Request execution and return immediately.
//     The request object is deleted in the main thread.
//
// - ShootRequestAndWait()
//   Request execution and wait until execution is finished.
//   This way results can be returned to the caller in data-members.
//   It is callers responsibility to delete the request object.
//   It can also be reused.
//
//
// Global queue and locks are implemented via static members of this
// class.
//
// Must be initialized from the main thread like this:
//   TRootXTReq::Bootstrap(TThread::SelfId());
