/**
 * @class ReactorSynch
 *
 * @brief Send thread synchronization utilizing a reactor.
 *
 * This class implements sending thread synchronization by scheduling
 * qeueued data sending to be handled by a reactor.  The initial
 * implementation will share the TransportReactorTask reactor for all
 * sending threads; which means that all receiving and queued sends will
 * be sharing the same thread.  Or thread pool.
 *
 * Calls to enable and disable sending on queued data by the reactor are
 * scheduled to be enabled and disabled on the reactor by notifying the
 * reactor to make the update.  This ensures that no locks will be held
 * (other than the Reactor::token_) when the call into the reactor is
 * made.
 *
 * References to the containing TransportSendStrategy and the reactor are
 * held as raw pointers since they are guaranteed to be valid for the
 * lifetime of this object (this is held in the same containing object).
