What's the difference between an instance of this class and a
base::WaitableEvent instance that is initially in signaled state?

[danakj, 2014/11/13 20:14:17]

A nicer API around should_delay_ I think for this use case.

[danakj, 2014/11/13 20:20:18]

Mmm, I guess the test could Reset() instead of BlockWait() and Signal() instead
of UnblockWait(). I could at least get rid of the should_delay_ bool and the
lock I guess... and then it looks just like WaitableEvent, heh. Guess I should
just use that.
