    like a Semaphore for mutual exclusion, but avoids the deadlock

    if a critical region is reentered by the same process again.

    I.e. allows reentering the critical region IFF the current process 

    is the one which did the original locking.

    WARNING:

	for now, recursionLocks are not unlocked when an image is

	restarted. You may have to recreate them to avoid a deadLock.

	(this may change in the future, but recreating a recursionLock in

	 the #earlyRestart handling does not hurt)

examples

  example (good):

									[exBegin]

    |lock|

    lock := RecursionLock new.

    lock critical:[

	Transcript showCR:'in lock ...'.

	lock critical:[

	    Transcript showCR:'again ...'

	]

    ]

									[exEnd]

  in contrast to (wrong example - deadlocks):

									[exBegin]

    |lock|

    lock := Semaphore forMutualExclusion.

    lock critical:[

	Transcript showCR:'in lock ...'.

	lock critical:[

	    '*** never reached - deadlock because sema is already locked ***'.

	    '    (press CTRL-c and abort in the debugger)'.

	    Transcript showCR:'again ...'

	]

    ]
