/**
 * <p> This class was implemented with the purpose to decouple various parts of XLogo4Schools from the Application-class. <br>
 * Before, almost every part had to have a reference to {@link Application}. Without the reference to the current frame, no errors or other messages could be displayed.
 * <p>
 * This class also allows to dispatch messages before a Medium (such as JFrame for dialogs or HistoryPanel for history messages) is set up. Therefore it maintains an internal queue of messages.
 * As soon as the medium is set up and ready, the queue will be emptied by displaying all the messages, one after the other.
 * <p>
 * This class is thread-safe.
