Ouch.  Could this be a caller-owned class with a ref-counted core instead?

Done.

Could you grab |main_thread_task_runner| implicitly via ThreadTaskRunnerHandle?

If not, consider renaming |main_task_runner| to |caller_task_runner|.

[alexeypa (please no reviews), 2012/10/09 19:42:04]

I don't think so. ThreadTaskRunnerHandle::Get() will not get me
AutoThreadTaskRunner while I need one to make sure shutdown code will run.
Done.

[Wez, 2012/10/09 03:40:39]

nit: The callers seem to Stop() and immediately drop the reference; if you
restructure this as a caller-owned class with a ref-counted core then you can
let the caller simply delete it to stop it.

Done.
