    Semaphores are used to synchronize processes providing a nonBusy wait

    mechanism. A process can wait for the availability of some resource by

    performing a Semaphore>>wait, which will suspend the process until the

    resource becomes available. Signalling is done by (another process performing)

    Semaphore>>signal.

    If the resource has been already available before the wait, no suspending is

    done, but the resource immediately allocated.

    The resource internally keeps a count, the number of times the resource can be

    allocated. If the semaphore is created with a count greater than 1, the sema

    can be waited-upon that many times without blocking.

    On the other hand, if initialized with a negative count, the semaphore

    must be signalled that many times more often in order for a wait to not block.

    In other words: whenever the semaphore has a count greater than zero,

    the wait operation will proceed. Otherwise, it will block until the count has

    been incremented by signal operations to be greater than zero.

    There are also semaphores for mutual access to a critical region

    (Semaphore>>forMutualExclusion and Semaphore>>critical:).

    Additional protocol is provided for oneShot semaphores,

    (#signalOnce) and for conditional signalling (#signalIf).

    You can also attach semaphores to external events (such as I/O arrival or

    timer events).

    This is done by telling the Processor to signal the semaphore

    under some condition.

    See 'Processor>>signal:afterSeconds:', 'Processor>>signal:onInput:' etc.

    See examples in doc/coding (found in the CodingExamples-nameSpace).

    Warning/Note/Hint:

	a Semaphore-forMutualExclusion does NEVER allow for the critical

	region to be entered twice - NOT EVEN by the same process.

	That means, that a recursive attempt to enter that section leads

	to a deadlock.

	Use a RecursionLock instead, to avoid this.

    Hint:

	now (Jul2002), Semaphores now allow for a negative count; this allows for

	a sync-point to be implemented easily (i.e. to wait for multiple other processes

	to arrive at a sync-point).

	See examples.

    [instance variables:]

	count                   <SmallInteger>          the number of waits, that will go through

							without blocking.

							Incremented on #signal; decremented on #wait.

	waitingProcesses        <OrderedCollection>     waiting processes - will be served first

							come first served when signalled.

	lastOwnerId             <SmallInteger>          a debugging aid: set when count drops

							to zero to the current processes id.

							Helps in finding deadlocks.

	name                    <String>                a debugging aid: an optional userFriendly
