    SemaphoreSets allow waiting until one of several semaphores becomes available.
    They provide a waiting protocol which is compatible to Semaphore, 
    i.e. #wait and #waitWithTimeOut.

 the following example forks a process which waits on any
 of sema1, sema2 to be signalled. The main thread signals those.
