/**
 * @class TAO_Synch_Queued_Message
 *
 * @brief Specialize TAO_Queued_Message for synchronous requests,
 *        i.e. twoways and oneways sent with reliability better than
 *        SYNC_NONE.
 *
 * Reliable requests block the sending thread until the message is
 * sent, likewise, the sending thread must be informed if the
 * connection is closed or the message times out.
 *
 * In contrast oneway (and AMI) requests sent with the SYNC_NONE
 * policy are simple discarded if the connection fails or they
 * timeout.
 *
 * Another important difference is the management of the data buffer:
 * one SYNC_NONE messages the buffer is immediately copied into a
 * newly allocated buffer, and must be deallocated.  Other types of
 * requests use the memory allocated by the sending thread.
