Can you document that an invalid token is not equal to any other token,
including other invalid tokens.

[fdoray, 2016/07/26 20:35:45]

Done.

nit: I'ld like GetForCurrentThread() a bit better to point out this is using
TLS.

[fdoray, 2016/07/26 20:35:45]

Done.

and ScopedSetSequenceTokenForCurrentThread?

Done.
