    A BoltLock (aka BoltVariable) is a 3-state semaphore, 

    useful to protect a resource against single writers, while allowing multiple

    readers to access the resource simultaneously.

    The lock is in one of 3 states:

        A; free - can be changed by a writer into the locked state, or by a reader

                  into the busy state.

        B; busy - can only be entered by another reader. left into free by last reader.

        C; locked  - a single writer has the lock; no other reader or writer is allowed

                     to acquire it

    [notice:]

        the original BoltLock was unfair in that new incoming readers could lock up a waiting writer.

        This has been fixed by adding a fourth state (wantToLock), which is set by a write-waiter to prevent

        new readers from getting the lock.

    [instance variables:]
