Application.QueueAsyncCall has a Data: PtrInt parameter to pass some 
context and it is always called later, so this is useful for doing 
something after the current LCL event.
TThread.Queue has aThread parameter, so the call is removed when the 
thread is freed, and when you call it from the main thread it will 
execute immediately, so this is for worker threads to asynchronously do 
something in the main thread.
