      Returns a scheduling rule which can be used to prevent jobs from running while this console's pattern matcher is active.

      Although this scheduling rule prevents jobs from running at the same time as pattern matching jobs for this console, it does not enforce any ordering of jobs. Since 3.2, pattern matching jobs belong to the job family identified by the console object that matching is occurring on. To ensure a job runs after all scheduled pattern matching is complete, clients must join on this console's job family.

      a scheduling rule which can be used to prevent jobs from running while this console's pattern matcher is active
