// CAUTION: THIS IS NOT A FULLY GENERAL BARRIER API.

// It may either be used as a "latch" or single-use barrier, or it may be reused under
// very limited conditions, e.g. if only Pass(), but not Wait() is called.  Unlike a standard
// latch API, it is possible to initialize the latch to a count of zero, repeatedly call
// Pass() or Wait(), and only then set the count using the Increment() method.  Threads at
// a Wait() are only awoken if the count reaches zero AFTER the decrement is applied.
// This works because, also unlike most latch APIs, there is no way to Wait() without
// decrementing the count, and thus nobody can spuriosly wake up on the initial zero.
