/*!
* @function dispatch_get_main_queue
*
* @abstract
* Returns the default queue that is bound to the main thread.
*
* @discussion
* In order to invoke blocks submitted to the main queue, the application must
* call dispatch_main(), NSApplicationMain(), or use a CFRunLoop on the main
* thread.
*
* @result
* Returns the main queue. This queue is created automatically on behalf of
* the main thread before main() is called.
