This class is a base class for many other classes within the task
  package. You can also use it to derive user classes to be placed in
  the task package's queues and so forth. All objects derived from the
  object class can declare the virtual function object::pending(), which
  the scheduler uses to determine if an object is ready or not. You can
  provide each kind of object with its own method of determining its
  state of readiness. Each pending object contains a list (the remember
  chain) of the waiting task objects.
