    // We aren't using a true synchronous mojo call here. We're calling an
    // asynchronous method and blocking on the result. The reason we're doing
    // this is a little complicated, so buckle up.
    //
    // Mojo has a concept of synchronous calls. However, synchronous calls are
    // dangerous. In particular, it's quite possible for two processes to call
    // synchronous methods on each other and cause a deadlock. Mojo has a
    // mechanism to avoid this kind of deadlock: if a process is waiting on the
    // result of a synchronous call, and it receives an incoming call for a
    // synchronous method, it will process that request immediately, even
    // though it's currently blocking. However, if it receives an incoming
    // request for an _asynchronous_ method, that can't cause a deadlock, so it
    // stashes the request on a queue to be processed once the synchronous
    // thing it's waiting on returns.
    //
    // This behavior is useful for preventing deadlocks, but it is inconvenient
    // here because it can result in messages being reordered. If the main
    // process is awaiting the result of a synchronous call (which it does only
    // very rarely, since it's bad to block the main process), and we send
    // first an asynchronous message to the main process, followed by a
    // synchronous message, then the main process will process the synchronous
    // one first.
    //
    // It turns out, Electron has some dependency on message ordering,
    // especially during window shutdown, and getting messages out of order can
    // result in, for example, remote objects disappearing unexpectedly. To
    // avoid these issues and guarantee consistent message ordering, we send
    // all messages to the main process as asynchronous messages. This causes
    // them to always be queued and processed in the same order they were
    // received, even if they were received while the main process was waiting
    // on a synchronous call.
    //
    // However, in the calling process, we still need to block on the result,
    // because the caller is expecting a result synchronously. So we do a bit
    // of a trick: we pass the Mojo handle over to a worker thread, send the
    // asynchronous message from that thread, and then block on the result.
    // It's important that we pass the handle over to the worker thread,
    // because that allows Mojo to process incoming messages (most importantly,
    // the response to our request) on that thread. If we didn't pass it to a
    // worker thread, and instead sent the call from the main thread, we would
    // never receive a response because Mojo wouldn't be able to run its
    // message handling code, because the main thread would be tied up blocking
    // on the WaitableEvent.
