# ConditionVariable objects augment class Mutex. Using condition variables,
# it is possible to suspend while in the middle of a critical section until a
# resource becomes available.
#
# Example:
#
#   require 'thread'
#
#   mutex = Mutex.new
#   resource = ConditionVariable.new
#
#   a = Thread.new {
#     mutex.synchronize {
#       # Thread 'a' now needs the resource
#       resource.wait(mutex)
#       # 'a' can now have the resource
#     }
#   }
#
#   b = Thread.new {
#     mutex.synchronize {
#       # Thread 'b' has finished using the resource
#       resource.signal
#     }
#   }
#

#
#   consumer = Thread.new do
#     5.times do |i|
#       value = queue.pop
#       sleep rand(i/2) # simulate expense
#       puts "consumed #{value}"
