/** 
 * A First-in/First-out implementation of a Semaphore.
 * Waiting requests will be satisified in
 * the order that the processing of those requests got to a certain point.
 * If this sounds vague it is meant to be. FIFO implies a
 * logical timestamping at some point in the processing of the
 * request. To simplify things we don't actually timestamp but
 * simply store things in a FIFO queue. Thus the order in which
 * requests enter the queue will be the order in which they come
 * out.  This order need not have any relationship to the order in
 * which requests were made, nor the order in which requests
 * actually return to the caller. These depend on Java thread
 * scheduling which is not guaranteed to be predictable (although
 * JVMs tend not to go out of their way to be unfair).
