                // 1. Scheduling the periodic job first and using an AsyncLock to serialize the OnNext calls
                //    has the drawback that InvokeStart may never return. This happens when every callback
                //    doesn't meet the period's deadline, hence the periodic job keeps queueing stuff up. In
                //    this case, InvokeStart stays the owner of the AsyncLock and the call to Wait will never
                //    return, thus not allowing any interleaving of work on this scheduler's logical thread.
                //
                // 2. Scheduling the periodic job first and using a (blocking) synchronization primitive to
                //    signal completion of the OnNext(0L) call to the Tick call requires quite a bit of state
                //    and careful handling of the case when OnNext(0L) throws. What's worse is the blocking
                //    behavior inside Tick.
                //
                // In order to avoid blocking behavior, we need a scheme much like SchedulePeriodic emulation
                // where work to dispatch OnNext(n + 1) is delegated to a catch up loop in case OnNext(n) was
                // still running. Because SchedulePeriodic emulation exhibits such behavior in all cases, we
                // only need to deal with the overlap of OnNext(0L) with future periodic OnNext(n) dispatch
                // jobs. In the worst case where every callback takes longer than the deadline implied by the
                // period, the periodic job will just queue up work that's dispatched by the tail-recursive
                // catch up loop. In the best case, all work will be dispatched on the periodic scheduler.
                //
