/**
 * @class ACE_Task_Ex
 *
 * @brief Primary interface for application message processing, as well
 * as input and output message queueing.
 *
 * Unlike ACE_Task, these class doesn't have the ability to be a part of
 * a Stream chain. I.e. You cannot (yet) chain modules based on ACE_Task_Ex.
 *
 * @todo: We can merge ACE_Task and ACE_Task_Ex to be one class.
 * something like that:
 * template <ACE_SYNCH_DECL, ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE = ACE_Message_Block>
 * class ACE_Task : public ACE_Task_Base
 * {
 * 	// use here the code from ACE_Task_Ex using ACE_Message_Queue_Ex
 * };
 *
 * Now specialized version of ACE_Task with ACE_Message_Block as its
 * ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE...
 *
 * template <ACE_SYNCH_DECL>
 * class ACE_Task <ACE_SYNCH_USE, ACE_Message_Block> : public ACE_Task_Base
 * {
 *   // put here the good old ACE_Task code
 * };
 *
 * When User (and legacy code) write ACE_Task<ACE_MT_SYNCH>, specialized ACE_Task
 * code is in action.
