A message interface serves as a unique interface to the part of the collection capable of receiving messages from a different task.
One example of use of this is the find method, which can use the signalling interface to inform worker threads that an element has been found and no further search is necessary.
Abort flag being true means that a worker can abort and produce whatever result, since its result will not affect the final result of computation. An example of operations using this are find, forall and exists methods.
The index flag holds an integer which carries some operation-specific meaning. For instance, takeWhile operation sets the index flag to the position of the element where the predicate fails. Other workers may check this index against the indices they are working on and return if this index is smaller than their index. Examples of operations using this are takeWhile, dropWhile, span and indexOf.

Sets the value of the index flag if argument is greater than current value. This method does this atomically.
