A Synchronization Context is an abstraction that allows consuming to code to pass units of work to a scheduler, without requiring awareness of how the work will be scheduled.

The iText 5 class names PdfPTable and PdfPCell were chosen because we already had classes named Table and Cell to create table and cell objects at the highest programming level.
