/**
 * A rendezvous channel, similar to those used in CSP and Ada.  Each
 * put must wait for a take, and vice versa.  Synchronous channels
 * are well suited for handoff designs, in which an object running in
 * one thread must synch up with an object running in another thread
 * in order to hand it some information, event, or task. 
 * <p> If you only need threads to synch up without
 * exchanging information, consider using a Barrier. If you need
 * bidirectional exchanges, consider using a Rendezvous.  <p>

    This implementation divides actions into two cases for puts:

    * An arriving putter that does not already have a waiting taker 
      creates a node holding item, and then waits for a taker to take it.
    * An arriving putter that does already have a waiting taker fills
      the slot node created by the taker, and notifies it to continue.

   And symmetrically, two for takes:

    * An arriving taker that does not already have a waiting putter
      creates an empty slot node, and then waits for a putter to fill it.
    * An arriving taker that does already have a waiting putter takes
      item from the node created by the putter, and notifies it to continue.

   This requires keeping two simple queues: waitingPuts and waitingTakes.
   
   When a put or take waiting for the actions of its counterpart
   aborts due to interruption or timeout, it marks the node
   it created as "CANCELLED", which causes its counterpart to retry
   the entire put or take sequence.
