Usage

NSBlockOperation *operation1 = [NSBlockOperation blockOperationWithBlock:^{
    // ...
}];

NSBlockOperation *operation2 = [NSBlockOperation blockOperationWithBlock:^{
    // ...
}];

[operation2 addDependency:operation1];

NSOperationQueue *queue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
[queue addOperations:@[operation1, operation2] waitUntilFinished:NO];

[queue setCompletion:^{
    // handle operation queue's completion here (launched in main thread!)
}];
