/**
 * Constructs an object that waits on the results of multiple asynchronous
 * operations and marshals the results. It is itself a <code>Deferred</code>,
 * and may have an execution sequence of callback functions added to it. Each
 * <code>DeferredList</code> instance is single use and may be fired only once.
 *
 * The default behavior of a <code>DeferredList</code> is to wait for a success
 * or error result from every <code>Deferred</code> in its input list. Once
 * every result is available, the <code>DeferredList</code>'s execution sequence
 * is fired with a list of <code>[success, result]</code> array pairs, where
 * <code>success</code> is a boolean indicating whether <code>result</code> was
 * the product of a callback or errback. The list's completion criteria and
 * result list may be modified by setting one or more of the boolean options
 * documented below.
 *
 * <code>Deferred</code> instances passed into a <code>DeferredList</code> are
 * independent, and may have additional callbacks and errbacks added to their
 * execution sequences after they are passed as inputs to the list.
 *
 * @param {!Array.<!goog.async.Deferred>} list An array of deferred results to
 *     wait for.
 * @param {boolean=} opt_fireOnOneCallback Whether to stop waiting as soon as
 *     one input completes successfully. In this case, the
 *     <code>DeferredList</code>'s callback chain will be called with a two
 *     element array, <code>[index, result]</code>, where <code>index</code>
 *     identifies which input <code>Deferred</code> produced the successful
 *     <code>result</code>.
 * @param {boolean=} opt_fireOnOneErrback Whether to stop waiting as soon as one
 *     input reports an error. The failing result is passed to the
 *     <code>DeferredList</code>'s errback sequence.
 * @param {boolean=} opt_consumeErrors When true, any errors fired by a
 *     <code>Deferred</code> in the input list will be captured and replaced
 *     with a succeeding null result. Any callbacks added to the
 *     <code>Deferred</code> after its use in the <code>DeferredList</code> will
 *     receive null instead of the error.
 * @param {Function=} opt_canceler A function that will be called if the
 *     <code>DeferredList</code> is canceled. @see goog.async.Deferred#cancel
 * @param {Object=} opt_defaultScope The default scope to invoke callbacks or
 *     errbacks in.
 * @constructor
 * @extends {goog.async.Deferred}
