 * SomeRunnable runnable = new SomeRunnable(receiver);
 * Thread worker = new Thread(runnable);

 *
 * <p>
 * Any number of threads may wait for the same message. Sending null references
 * is supported. The object is intended for delivering only single message,
 * there is no support for recycling it.
