* a long time.
*
* : If only an interface were used Scheduler implementations would then need to extend from an
* AbstractScheduler pair that gives all of the functionality unless they intend on copy/pasting the
* functionality.
*
* : Without virtual extension methods even additive changes are breaking and thus severely impede library
