A Request has been made to shutdown this WorkerItem.
A Request has been made to shutdown this WorkerItem. By default this will simply unbind the item from its Worker, but this can be overriden to add in custom shutdown behaviors. Be aware that in some cases this method may not be called and the item will be unbound, such as when an IOSystem is shutting down.
A WorkerItem is anything that can be bound to worker to receive both events and external messages. WorkerItems are expected to be single-threaded and non-blocking. Once a WorkerItem is bound to a worker, all of its methods are executed in the event-loop thread of the bound worker.
Note - WorkerItems currently do not automatically bind to a worker on construction. This is because a worker does the binding itself for server connections immediately on construction. Clients need to bind themselves, except when created through the BindAndCreateWorkerItem message. Maybe this should change.
Note - WorkerItem cannot simply just always generate its own context, since in some cases we want one WorkerItem to replace another, in which case the context must be transferred
