/**
 * Native input transport.
 *
 * Uses anonymous shared memory as a whiteboard for sending input events from an
 * InputPublisher to an InputConsumer and ensuring appropriate synchronization.
 * One interesting feature is that published events can be updated in place as long as they
 * have not yet been consumed.
 *
 * The InputPublisher and InputConsumer only take care of transferring event data
 * over an InputChannel and sending synchronization signals.  The InputDispatcher and InputQueue
 * build on these abstractions to add multiplexing and queueing.
