/**
* This class represents a fiber, which is a light weight sort of thread which
* is cooperatively scheduled and runs sequentially with other fibers, swapping
* in and out of a single actual thread of execution.
*
* To define your own threads, create a subclass of Fiber and override its
* main() function to do what you want your fiber to do. You can start it by
* calling its run() method which will stop your execution and start the other
* fiber in your place.
*
* If your main() function ends, that fiber will automatically switch to either
* the primary fiber, or to a particular fiber you specified at construction
* time, and your fiber is considered finished.
