-	An argument to pass to the `doWork` function. `doWork`'s parameter can be

+	Any changes made to this object will persist if and when `doWork` is called
+	again for the same job. (See `WorkFunction` for instructions on how to do
+	this.) This is the recommended way to store `doWork`'s progress.
+
+	Caution: after passing an object to `doWork`, avoid accessing or modifying
+	that object from the main thread, and avoid passing it to other threads.
+	Doing either may lead to race conditions. If you need to store an object,
+	pass a clone of that object to `doWork`.
