When the worker has finished loading, so you can send and receive messages
OK, what about a worker that when it loads just starts and infinite loop
and starts sending you messages (but obviously never expects any
messages from you, since it's in an infinite loop)?
Or is the idea to not support this behavior? If so, I'm a little
worried about specifying something with totally different behavior from
DOM Workers and calling it "Worker".
What if the "result" of the message is a sequence of messages back?
This is a common thing to do with web workers: ask it to do something,
and it sends the answer back in chunks.
The result is the value returned from the worker's `onMessage`. This
does permit async return values, because it's fairly common (at least in
my case) to send a message and expect a response as effectively a return
value, and I would like to reify that.
I think we're talking past each other a bit here, but please see above
about naming.
