Hi all,

Can't find an answer to this in the documentation. Does
-waitUntilAllOperationsAreFinished pay heed to the -isSuspended state
of the NSOperationQueue? I ask because I'm basically following this
pattern to collect responses from multiple concurrent background
operations in a thread-safe way.:

NSOperationQueue backgroundQueue = /* some long-lived background queue */;
NSOperationQueue replyQueue = [NSOperationQueue new];
int totalResult = 0;

[replyQueue setSuspended:YES];

for (id foo in myFoos) {
  [backgroundQueue addOperationWithBlock:^{
    int result = DoSomething();
    [replyQueue addOperationWithBlock:^{
      totalResult += result;
    }];
  }];
}

[replyQueue waitUntilAllOperationsAreFinished];

/* all done! */

But this falls apart if -waitUntilAllOperationsAreFinished doesn't
look at -isSuspended, and it gets called before the first operation
gets enqueued on the replyQueue.

I can easily work around this by enqueuing a no-op operation on
replyQueue right after calling -setSuspended, but I'd like to know
whether there's a definitive answer to this question.
