 Proxy that allows invocation on a separate thread, or with a delay.
 
 Use with the GHNSObject+Invocation category:
 
 @code
 NSMutableArray *array = ...; 
 // Adds object to array after 5 seconds
 [[array ghu_proxyAfterDelay:5.0] addObject:@"test"];
 
 
 NSThread *thread = ...
 // Remove all objects from another thread
 [[array ghu_proxyOnThread:thread waitUntilDone:NO] removeAllObjects];
 @endcode
 
 Create invocation proxy for a NSMutableArray.
 
 @code 
 NSMutableArray *array = ...;
 NSThread *thread = ...
 
 GHNSInvocationProxy_GHUNIT *arrayProxy = [GHNSInvocationProxy_GHUNIT invocation];
 arrayProxy.target = array;
 arrayProxy.thread = thread;
 arrayProxy.waitUntilDone = NO;

 // Performs method on thread and doesn't wait for return
 [arrayProxy addObject:@"test"];
 @endcode
 */

	BOOL waitUntilDone_;
