 * Base class for queue handlers.

 * As of 0.9, queue handlers are short-lived for items as they are
 * dequeued by a QueueManager running in an IoMaster in a daemon
 * such as queuedaemon.php.
 *
 * Extensions requiring long-running maintenance or polling should
 * register an IoManager.
 *
 * Subclasses must override at least the following methods:
 * - transport
 * - handle
