/**
 * This class implements a policy for reader/writer locks in which
 * threads contend in a First-in/First-out manner for access (modulo
 * the limitations of FIFOSemaphore, which is used for queuing).  This
 * policy does not particularly favor readers or writers.  As a
 * byproduct of the FIFO policy, the <tt>attempt</tt> methods may
 * return <tt>false</tt> even when the lock might logically be
 * available, but, due to contention, cannot be accessed within the
 * given time bound.  <p>
 *
 * This lock is <em>NOT</em> reentrant. Current readers and
 * writers should not try to re-obtain locks while holding them.
