 *  @brief Deferred execution of a const method
 *

 *  idle - i.e. GUI events are being processed.
 *  This allows scheduling GUI update requests or similar.
 *  The compress parameter controls whether multiple calls to the same method are 
 *  compressed and combined into a single call. This is an efficient way to 
 *  schedule a single GUI update request from frequently called and time critical
 *  code for example.
 *
 *  The intention is to create these objects as members of a class:
 *
 *  class T {
 *  public:
 *    T : m_def(this, &T::m) { }
 *    void f() {
 *      m_def(); // deferred call to m() 
 *    }
 *    void m() { .. }
 *  private:
 *    DeferredMethod<T> m_def;
 *  };
 *
 *  The call can be scheduled from any thread but will always be executed in the
 *  main thread.
