style

Comment(by conra...@…):
After reading through the specification, I would like to see the following
more explicit API:
{{{
queue = Dispatch::Queue.new( "comp.lang.MyCustomerQueue", attribute = nil
)
queue.dispatch_async( &block )
queue.dispatch_sync( &block )
queue.dispatch_apply( iterations, &block )
group = Dispatch::Group.new
group.dispatch_async( queue, &block )
group.dispatch_wait( Dispatch::TIME_FOREVER )
group.dispatch_release
}}}
These are just some of my thoughts because I was looking for something
that was inline with the C API. Also, the explicit API eliminates the
need for 'if' constructs within
the function definition within 'gcd.c'. Next, we can namespace this by
adding both the Group and Queue classes within the module Dispatch.
